Thanksgiving has now come and gone.  I hope you had a good one.  I know I did.  How many of us know about the roots of Thanksgiving and why we eat the dishes that we do?

Butternut Squash Soup is a great fresh start to a fall dinner. It is light, sweet, and has all the flavor of fall.  The bright yellow color of the soup reminds me of the changing leaves on the trees.  I just returned from Michigan, where squash in peoples gardens was being harvested everywhere.

1 Large Butternut Squash

2 Shallots

4 Garlic Cloves

3 Cups of Chicken
