CINDY'S SQUASH SOUP

 

We love squash soup, especially through the winter months! I use this

same approach with a variety of squashes, including butternut, acorn,

and even pumpkin. I peel the raw squash, cut it into chunks and throw

it into a soup pot with a chopped onion and often, (not always) a

chopped potato. I cover the lot with broth, bring it to a boil, and

let it simmer for 20 minutes or so. (Depending on volume and a taste

test, I may add a veg-based broth cube as well.) Then, I add a

sprinkle of curry powder and a can of coconut milk and whiz the lot

with my immersion blender. I'll usually also have taken the squash

seeds and fried them up with a bit of butter and salt and pepper to

add as a garnish.

I fried the seeds in oil instead of butter, and added salt only, and

they were delicious.

 

I added some celery. And I didn't cover the veggies with water when

cooking, just added enough to cover the bottom of the pot, so the

veggies were partly steamed and partly boiled. I used a regular

blender. The soup was delicious!
