Italian Butternut Squash and White Bean Soup With Greens image

I clipped this from a magazine years ago and just now came across it again. As someone who is allergic to cow's milk, I'm always happy to find tasty, satisfying vegetarian soups that are dairy-free. Although I haven't tried this one yet, it looks so good I know that I will do so soon. :) Prep time does not include peeling, seeding and dicing the squash; you can save time and effort by buying peeled and cut butternut squash, which is available at some grocery stores (such as Trader Joe's).
