Birds and Beans Squash Soup Recipe ~ a #harvestcomoxvalley post
by noreply@blogger.com (hans peter meyer) @ Bon Vivant on Vancouver Island
Sun Oct 18 19:46:00 PDT 2015
- Roast the squash (see note below). For convenience, the squash can be roasted the morning or the night before and put in the fridge until you’re ready to make soup.
- Chop up onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Fry them in a bit of butter or oil. Cook until soft.
- Meanwhile chop up potatoes into soup-size chunks, and either scoop out the pre-roasted squash or peel and chop up the squash into similar-sized chunks as the potatoes.
- Once the onions and garlic are cooked, add the stock, potatoes, and squash. Bring to a simmer until cooked. Salt to taste.
- The soup can either be blended or not, or somewhere in between. Use a stick blender and do it in the pot.
- While the soup is cooking, chop up your preferred greens. Include the stems. They are often incredibly sweet in the fall and winter. Place chopped greens either in bowls so that people can choose how much to put in their soup, or put them in the pot right before serving. If you intend on having leftovers, I find the greens lose their appeal and go mushy, so serving them separately from the large pot means you can have fresh greens the next day.
- Immediately before serving, finish each bowl with a nice large dollop of Tree Island Yogurt – Voila!
To roast a squash chop it in half, remove the seeds, and put it face-down in a pan with a little bit of water in pan to keep moist. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until you can poke a knife through it.
