Harvest Pumpkin & Squash Soup

Submitted by BearsFanJeff

"Turn some of those gourds used for fall decorating into a creamy, tasty meal! This is a thick and hearty soup perfect for a cold winter's night. I like mine topped with a little parmesan cheese and croutons. You could use all chicken stock in this recipe, I just happened to have some vegetable stock in the fridge. The preparation time includes time to peel the gourds and apples."
