Delicious! The family has requested this to be made again! This is now in the “permanent recipe file”, to be made several times during the winter.

I made a vegetarian version with vegetable broth and a drained can of black beans instead of chicken. Also, I used a sugar pie pumpkin instead of butternut squash. Topped with cilantro and cotija cheese when served.
