Adzuki Bean Soup

Vino Girl's Note:

This is a mild soup that is healthy, simple, and quick. I used more soy sauce and I replaced the cubed squash with some pureed that I had in the freezer. I also added cayenne and red pepper flakes. I am also thinking some broth might be good in place of the water, for added flavor. From Eden Organic Foods.
