ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

HAM SOUP AND CORNMEAL DUMPLINGS
This was a favorite of my dad. I have tried to remember how my mother made them, but my cornmeal dumplings are not as tender as hers. Sure wish I had spent more time in the kitchen with her when I had a chance. It is a great way for using up leftover ham.

SQUASH, GINGER AND APPLE SOUP
This easy soup is delicious. It is wonderful proof of the theory that ingredients that come into season together are naturally complementary. Autumn, then, is the time to simmer up a pot of this golden potage. The ginger adds a lively kick to an otherwise sweet and mellow dish. You will not be dissappointed!! Serves 8 as a first course, or 4 as a main course. Prep time is the time it takes to bake the squash...
