my husband and i have distinctly different styles in the kitchen: victor will take the time to plan, shop for, and execute an awesome elaborate meal. whereas i use what we have in the house to whip up an awesome simple meal.

this is a soup i made last fall when i was pregnant (and very nauseous) with some vegetables we had on hand (butternut squash and sweet potatoes) the rest of the ingredients are pretty standard pantry staples for us.
