One of things that I really look forward to in the winter is eating hearty soups and stews. For me, soup is a full dinner so I like to load my soups with vegetables and protein. This hearty kabocha squash soup is loaded with kabocha squash, meat and two handfuls of fresh herbs. It gets its flavor from a load of onions, garlic and beef broth. I wanted a chunky soup that was also thick and the squash delivered just that. Some got dissolved into the broth and the rest remained in pieces. I will definitely be making this soup again.
I like to add G. Washington Rich Brown Seasoning and Broth to the use because I think it really gives the soup extra flavor. You can purchase it on amazon or you can also find it at your local supermarket.

This was delicious! Hearty and comforting on a cold day.
It’s not cold yet here where I live, but we have soup all the time anyway. This one is really good, especially if you use a fatty beef.
Ha Avner! I miss you too
Hearty and filling
Enjoyed by all
