Butternut Squash and Chicken Stew

February 11, 2016 by myrecipeconfessions

Chicken and Butternut Squash Stew. This stew will warm you from head to toe! It is so delicious I was planning on making it again before I finished my first bowl. It one of those easy dinner recipes that everybody raves over! If you are looking for a yummy soup to warm you up this is your recipe!

I guess I have been making a lot of soup lately because the other day my three year old said to me ” Mom, maybe you shouldn’t make soup anymore”.  At the time he was mad because I told him that he had to at least try the soup or he wouldn’t get any dessert. I wish I could tell you that he tried it and loved it but he is my pickest eater and trying anything new is completely out of the question.

I on the other hand love this soup! It warmed me up from head to toe. I know I have said this many times about soup but I love soup this time of year! You just can’t beat a hot bowl of soup on a cold night.

I love how quick this soup comes together. I made it on a Sunday night after we got home from church. I like to have a nice hearty meal on Sundays but I don’t want to spend the evening cleaning up the kitchen. Therefore, this soup was the perfect solution. It was quick to make, easy cleanup, and very feeling.

For all my gluten free friends out there, simply swap out the orzo for rice and you can enjoy this soup as well.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
