We have often bought packets of squash soup but never before tried making it from scratch. We were very pleased with the results.
The recipe we found is here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/77981/butternut-squash-soup-ii/
In a generous knob of butter, fry a chopped onion, some celery, carrots, diced potato, and a diced squash. Add enough stock to cover, bring to the boil and simmer until the veg is soft. Blend, and stir in salt and pepper. The result should be a very thick soup.
Departing from the recipe, we then stirred in a generous dash of cream and another knob of butter, and served with bacon bits and grated Parmesan.
Hi Ian - I love butternut - use them quite often here ... and yes I'd probably put some grated cheese on top - but the bacon topping sounds good - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary, bacon goes well with just about anything :)
