馃尶 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
馃尶 3 sprigs fresh thyme
馃尶 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
馃カ 2 cans 10.5 oz each Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
馃悡 3 cups Swanson chicken broth

馃 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1- Prep the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350掳F (175掳C).
- Slice the rustic Italian bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until they are dried and lightly golden.
2- Prep the Delicata Squash:
- Cut both ends off the delicata squash. Halve it lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds using a spoon. Slice the squash halves into crescent-shaped pieces, then dice into small cubes.
3- Prep the Aromatics:
- Dice the celery stalks and red onion into small, uniform pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
4- Prepare the Herbs:
- Strip the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Finely chop the herbs along with the parsley.
5- Mix the Liquid Base:
- In a large measuring pitcher, pour in the Swanson chicken broth. Add the Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup and whisk until smooth and well combined.
6- Saut茅 the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced celery, red onion, and delicata squash cubes. Season with salt and black pepper. Saut茅 until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
7- Add Garlic and Herbs:
- Incorporate the minced garlic and the chopped herbs into the skillet, stirring and cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
8- Combine the Stuffing:
- Transfer the toasted bread cubes into a large wooden mixing bowl. Pour the saut茅ed vegetable and herb mixture over the bread cubes.
9- Add Liquid and Mix:
- Pour the prepared liquid mixture over the bread and vegetables in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the bread is evenly coated and moistened.
10- Bake the Stuffing:
- Transfer the entire mixture into a white rectangular baking dish. Bake at 350掳F (175掳C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown on top and cooked through.
11- Garnish & Serve:
- Remove from oven and garnish with additional fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
