The leaves are gone, the wind is wailing, and there's snow in the air. It's winter and it's time for stew. To be honest, we've been waiting all fall 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. Winter is coming, but you'll have the perfect soup to keep yourself warm.
