Another yummy cool weather favorite of mine: Butternut Squash Soup
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 rib of celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 T butter
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, chopped (I usually buy the 2 halves from the grocery store that are already peeled with the seeds removed; if you really wanted to make it easy, you could buy it chopped)
1 tart green apple, peeled, cored, chopped (squash & apple should be at 3 to 1 ration)
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and pepper
Combine butter, onion, celery, and carrot in large saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes. Add squash, apple, and broth. Bring to boil. SImmer for 10 minutes or until squash is soft. Puree. Add spices to taste. Serves 4-6.
ENJOY!!!
I’m loving these recipes. They sound so spicy and yummy. Now, if the weather would just dip into sweater weather we would be all set!
