Butternut squash is on almost everyone’s Thanksgiving Day
menu. It’s great as a side dish or made into a soup. I’ve just completed a video on how to make Butternut Squash Soup which I know
you are going to love! It can make it two days in advance and just reheated on Thanksgiving Day.
Butternut Squash is a hearty winter squash, and just like a
pumpkin, it is a heavy, dense vegetable with seeds in the bulb part at the
bottom.
Surprising, butternut squash works well with a variety of
flavors including cinnamon, maple syrup, curry, ginger, coconut and even granny
smith apples. Just don’t try adding all
of them at the same time!
Preparing Butternut Squash baked with Apples
You might want to consider wearing disposable glove when
you’re preparing butternut squash as it will stain your hands orange.
Important Safety Tip:
Do be extra careful when you are puréeing hot soup in the
blender. Not only do you need to do it
in several small batches but also be sure to open the plug slightly in the
cover of the blender to release the steam!!
Cheers!

9 Rules

I've been on a cooking kick lately, and unfortunately I was so busy this winter that I wasn't able to make much soup. Today I whipped up your Butternut Squash Soup (as per your video), but also threw in 1 Delicious apple for extra sweetness.
Since I'm serving it for dinner tonight, I just gave it a litle taste (okay, okay, I couldn't help myself and had a small cup!), and it was DIVINE!
I made a double sized batch so that I can freeze one half in a freezer container and I can make the rest in a few weeks when I get the hankering for more!
Having never made butternut squash soup before, I always thought it had some kind of cream in it since it is so thick, but I was surprised to find that it is really nothing more than the veggies and the chicken or vegetable broth. So, not only does it make it tasty, but it also makes it healthy. Two great positives--especially since I've just really started a new eat healthier and excercise diet so I can lose 10 pounds.
Thanks for another great recipe! I'm making one of the casseroles tomorrow, so I'll make sure to write on how that one goes. Keep the great recipes coming, Kathy!
