  6. NOTES : Tested October 2001: We omitted the turkey. Very thick soup. The flavor depends completely upon the freshness of the squash and the heartiness of the broth. Next time Surprise: I like creamed soup and Bob tolerates them. But this soup he loved more than I did. I liked it better the second day. NEXT TIME: add in leftover turkey and a roasted slab of banana squash.
