Soups are so cheap to make, can be made ahead of time and either frozen or stored in the fridge for several days, and warm you up on those cool fall evenings. I almost always serve my homemade soups with a loaf of fresh whole wheat bread. It costs under a dollar to make and really fills everyone up.<\/p>\n<p>This soup uses fall produce to save even more money. Many people have squash growing in their gardens and the store shelves are starting to fill up with many varieties of squash. Apples are also getting cheaper which makes this soup perfect for fall!<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-28872\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"28872\"
