A great winter warmer! Delicious blend of veggies and spices. Substituted plain yogurt, jarred pesto and fresh lemon to make basil cream. We had black eyed peas left from New Year’s dinner and used those for canned beans.

I made this for a friend who came to dinner. We all agreed it was very good. I didn't make the basil cream but it was good just the way it was. Will be doing it again but I will try frozen butternut squash next time.
