The leaves are turning, the wind is picking up, and there's a slight nip in the air, so different from the swollen August heat. It's autumn and it's time for stew. To be honest, we've been waiting all summer for this weather to begin again, for succulent chicken and warm butternut squash in a creamy, rich broth, spoonful after spoonful bringing scrumptious heat to the stomach. The cold is coming, but you'll have the perfect soup to keep yourself warm.
