When it comes to weeknight dinners, I'm an unabashed soup fan. Sure, it might take slightly longer to simmer up than a pot of pasta, but by and large it's a hands-off affair, and few foods soothe the soul better after a hectic day.


Smooth, creamy (without being heavy), and subtly sweet, this iteration will be entering my rotation throughout the fall and winter months, and I encourage you to do the same.


Like many pureed soups, this seasonal soup gets even better with age, and is therefore an excellent candidate for leftovers — I usually put mine in a thermos to enjoy for lunch all week long.
