What's for dinner?

As you may recall, we had three lovely (small) butternut squash from the garden this year.  Unfortunately, Alice the Cat decided she likes to attack the butternut squash, so storing them long term seemed like a bad choice.  Luckily, today was cold and rainy, a perfect day for squash soup.  Here's the recipe I started with with notes of the changes we made...

And here is what I actually did:

Last night I baked the butternut squash, cut in half, in a little water for about an hour at 350 degrees, until soft, scooped out of shell and refrigerated.

Cut up, added a tiny bit of water, cooked in microwave for about 5 minutes, until all soft:

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

4 little turnips (from CSA basket), peeled and chopped

2 small gala apples that were bruised and the children refused to eat, peeled and chopped
4 little onions from the garden, chopped

While the other veggies were cooking, put squash and a can of beef broth in the blender and blend until smooth.  Transfer to pot.

Put other veggies in blender with another can of beef broth, add to pot.

Season with cumin, curry, chilli pwd,  and paprika.  

It had the seal of approval from the whole family...so yay!
