The cold Minnesota weather makes having soup for dinner a favorite of mine and this Roasted Chicken & Butternut Soup was no exception. Can’t you just smell the warmth coming from the stovetop?

The butternut squash, along with all the other ingredients, was quite tender and tasteful.
The soup was served with Broccoli Crunch — a salad that could have been a meal all on its own although, the combination of apples and broccoli was not my favorite. Is it possible to have too much crunchiness in a salad?

Large chunks of chicken sure were satisfying in this soup. Mmmmm …

The soup is from a Martha Stewart recipe so it’s “safe” to try (for those who might be hesitant to try something from a newbie).
