Generally I despise Squash...even the sound of it sounds squishy and gross..


However, squash soup is a new favorite!!! :thumb:

this is the one I use, and oddly it has curry in it!
It comes out pretty darn good though.
I don't like squash either.
here it is, its real simple
2 medium Butternut Squashes peeled, seeded, and diced
1 cup of yellow onions diced
2 celery stocks diced
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dry curry seasoning.
around 4 cups of Chicken stock (vegie works fine too.
Sour cream and chives for garnishing.

heat small amount of olive oil in a large pot. Med. Heat.
toss in onions, and celery until the become and cook for around 2-3 min.
Put in Curry, mix in well, and cook until fragrent.
add bay leaves, Squash, and stock.
Cook for 15 min. or until squash become tender, and will smash with a fork.
strain out bay leaves
add soup to a food processor, or blend in a blender
serve into bowls, and add a dash of sour cream, and some diced chives.
Trust me, its a very good rescipe.

This one is healthy and pretty tasty too, (fromof Dr. Weil.)

  • 1 large winter squash (~2.5lbs)--Butternut works wells, but you can use other--peeled and cut into 2" pieces
  • 2 medium oniions, peeled and quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tart, firm apples, peeled, cored and quartered
  • 2T EVOO
  • 4-5c. veggie stock
  • Salt and red chili powder to taste

  1. Preheat oven to 400*F
  2. Toss the squash, onions, garlic, and apples into a large roasting pan and coat with olive oil, season with salt adn chili powder. Roast striring every10 minutes or so, until all the veggies are fork tender and lightly browned.
  3. Puree in a blender with veggie stock (at least two batches, so split your stock)
  4. Puree into pot, simmer, and season to taste.

A bit of cilantro walnut pesto goes well in the soup.

Also, I'd go a little light on the onion, and make sure the squash is cooked well. Serve with some good bread...mmmm...
