We recently shared Kourt’s go-to butternut squash soup that’s great for a cozy night in. Today we’re adding to the list of soup recipes that she received from her friend (and Poosh contributor) Jennifer Galvan. Well, we actually have Jen’s mom, Lili, to thank for the healthy and comforting bowl of flavor. Tip from Kourt: she likes to make a large batch and freeze it using mason jars, and then she places one in the fridge to thaw out and can easily warm it up for a quick meal to cook for herself and the kids.
