A Great Fall Soup!

As fall is rapidly closing in it is time to consider those foods that will not only warm the heart but the body as well.  I picked up a fairly large Butternut Squash from a neighbor and thought a soup was in order.  Starting with some chicken stock, about two quarts, I had from boiling chicken breasts earlier in the week I diced several pieces of celery, peeled, de-seeded an chopped the squash into bite sized pieces and added it to the stock......add about a tablespoon of ground Cinnamon, some granulated garlic and a rounded teaspoon of Nutmeg bring the mix to a slow boil.  After the squash gets to the point where it can be easily poked with a fork cut up two precooked chicken breasts into small pieces.  Let it simmer for a few more minutes, the more it simmers the thicker it will get, and you now have a pot of great tasting soul food!
