Butternut Vegetable Soup image

Walnuts added to the hot soup add a complementary flavor, a little crunch and a nice protein boost. Since I have vegetarians and meat eaters in my midst, I add the cooked turkey breast to the finished soup and heat it for 5 more minutes and all parties are happy. It is a wonderful soup for a cold day but it is also really good served cold on a hot summer day. For the cabbage, I use 1/2 bag of cole slaw salad mix (no dressing).
