Favorite Winter Squash Soup

This one goes out to the lovely Tina P., with offices in Minneapolis and Eden Prairie, who loves her soups.

Start simmering:
2 c. chicken broth
Healthy dash of cinnamon
Healthier dash of garlic powder
2 -12 oz. packages frozen winter squash (yep, just drop it in frozen)
1 1/2 c. apple sauce (optional, but tasty)
Generous salt and pepper

When all blended, whisk in 7 oz. container creme fraiche (yes, the whole container)

Bring to temp, serve. Makes 6 one-cup servings. Freezes beautifully.
