Apres ski, French for 'after skiing,' refers to the social time directly after getting off the slopes, and this microwave soup is perfect for the occasion. Chock full of healthy veggies, this one will warm you from head to toe. Nancy Hamlin - Littleton, Colorado
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/4 cups cubed acorn squash
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 medium leek (white portion only), thinly sliced

1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon salt
