To get started, you’ll want to bake the prosciutto until crispy. You won’t need this until serving, but it’s just easiest to knock it out at the beginning.
While the prosciutto bakes, start the soup by browning your butter. Once it’s browned you will add the onion, butternut squash (or pumpkin), garlic, sage, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook all those ingredients together until the onion begins to soften.
Add the chicken broth and water then bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the squash is tender.
Pull out your hand blender and puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Sir in the noodles and swiss chard and cook for another 10 minutes until the noodles and veggies are tender. Then add the lemon juice.
Spoon the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of ricotta, some of the crumbled prosciutto and chives.

I made this but switched out the ingredients. It is the most delicious soup you will ever eat. Thank you Michelle for the recipe.
I used Spinach instead of Chard, and I used bacon instead of Proscuitto. I have never tried chard and don’t like kale type foods. I didn’t know where to get the Proscuitto so I just used bacon.
We loved it too!! I always see recipes as a starting point…glad you were able to make it your own!
