Perfect recipe for fall!

My favorite season is upon us! The one that keeps me in Minnesota. The colors are amazing this time of year. And we live in a part of this state that would make you wish it was this colorful all year. With these beautiful colors, come the apples, pumpkins, cooler temps, sometimes dreary days that make you want to curl up on the couch, and read a good book. 

So why not a nice warm bowl of soup to go with that book?

Here is a recipe that has been requested by many. I found this recipe a few years ago online and my family loves it. A lot of steps but not a ton of ingredients. 

So enjoy this with your family. Leave a comment if you tried it and love it! or if you would do something different to it.
