Soups like this are what make people excited for cool weather. Beans and butternut, slow-simmered with plenty of fresh herbs, turn into a super savory (and colorful) bowl of warmth.

ingredients
1 cup Borlotti or October beans, picked over
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 sprig fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup sliced onions
3/4 cup sliced celery
3/4 cup sliced leek, white and light green parts only, washed well
4 cups peeled and diced butternut squash or pumpkin
10 fresh sage leaves, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
8 cups water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces prosciutto, finely diced
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded or coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
directions
Soak the beans in cool water for 6 hours or overnight. Drain well.
Combine the peppercorns, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf in a square of cheesecloth and tie shut with kitchen twine.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, leek, squash, sage, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the beans and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. Add salt as desired then let the soup simmer for 30 more minutes or until the beans are tender.
Remove the cheesecloth packet and discard. Sir in the prosciutto and let cook for 3 more minutes. Season with black pepper then ladle the soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish each serving with freshly grated cheese.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
