Jacc's Squash Soup
Jacc's Squash Soup
If you haven't tried it, DO IT THIS FALL!!
I made it again tonight. It was a windy, cool but sunny, perfect fall day.
This soup and some fresh buns were the perfect supper for a house of sickies. I added a little cumin and a little maple syrup just for fun. It was very yummy.
The recipe is in one of the stickies. And for a good reason.
Thanks again James!

I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.
Life is fluid and ever changing. I am too.

Is this the recipe you guys are talking about? It looks so easy to make. I might have to give it a try. Yummy!

Butternut Squash soup
is easy! And delicious.
Cut one really big, or two medium sized squash (the beige ones with orange flesh, that's butternut right?)
Gut them, Put them in the oven at 350 for 40-50 minutes (or until a fork sinks in without resistance) I sometimes flip them over after 25 minutes.
Scoop out flesh (into a bowl) (which can keep until the following day if you don't have time to make the whole soup that evening)
In a deep pot, with a bit of olive oil, sautee some onions and a bit of garlic. Add squash and enough chicken broth to cover the squash and a bit more (usually 1200-1500ml).
Bring to a boil, simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Blend with a hand mixer.
Add half a cup of half&half cream or coffee cream. stir and warm over medium heat for 5 mintues or so.
Salt and pepper to taste.
It's really nice with diced cheddar or monterey jack cheese in it.
Enjoy fellow soup eaters!

If you want to make it even easier roast the onions and garlic with the squash.

Re: Jacc's Squash Soup
I made the soup again last night but I discovered, to my dismay, that I had bought BEEF broth. GAH!
So, I made the soup with just water instead of broth. Threw in some extra salt and onion. Know what? Still really really yummy. Didn't notice anything missing.

Re: Jacc's Squash Soup
I think I'll try this. I don't know if I like squash, but I do like soup

Re: Jacc's Squash Soup
I made squash soup a couple times over the last month as well. Basically I did what James' recipe says, sans cream. Then I put in a can of pumpkin and an apple, some curry powder, cumin, some cinnamon and a few shots of tabasco. Don't ask amounts... I basically added stuff, tasted, added more if needed. I love soup!

Re: Jacc's Squash Soup
Rosemary. I forgot. That was the other thing I added extra of last night. It seems I like rosemary. I usually like to throw roasted red pepper in there, too. But I totally forgot last night!

May I just add... I just had a bowl of my soup, with a Havarti and Edam grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of wine.
