Hi Everyone!
With all of the squash I have from the garden I decided to make
cream of squash soup.
Of course I didn't follow any directions. I cook by instinct. LOL
This makes the prettiest bowl of soup.
Cut them up and simmer them until completely cook. Then add them to a blender with a bit of the cooking water.
Now here is why I don't have photos of this. Mr. M. bought me a blender/food processor a few years ago. I hardly ever use it because it is louder than a jet engine. Seriously it hurts my ears. The second thing is that is assembles backwards to every other blender I have ever owned. I forget about this. I got it all together poured in the squash and BAMB!!!! It all started leaking out the bottom. AYFKM? A huge mess to clean up.
Mr. M. came in from his daily walk and fixed it for me. We laughed at what a bonehead I am.
Soooooo...
After you puree the squash let it set while you put the pot back on the fire and add a a 1T of ghee or butter. Add the same amount for flour and make a rue.
Add 1T of chicken broth, powder or cube.
1/2t of seasoned pepper and 1/2t of seasoned salt. Or add to taste. Mix it all up
Then add some heavy cream. I didn't have any so I just added milk. You can also try 1/2 n 1/2 but that seems too sweet to me. Or even try sour cream. Just 1/2 cup.
It makes the prettiest bowl of soup.
We are having chicken sandwiches with soup. A good crusty Italian or French bread would be excellent too.
Hope you try this.

...I hear that making a mess, makes to soup tastier!
Soup is just wonderful during the cooler months.
All the best Jan
It looks delicious!
This looks good! I cook a lot by instinct. I like to read the recipe and then do what I want. lol
That soup looks delicious. Thanks for inspiring me to make some soup soon hugs-Erika
That does look really good!
Sorry about the blender. I am a creature of habit myself--lol! :)
It is soup weather for sure!!! And this one looks great - I have seen no such squash here, though...
thanks! Now available in the USA
We make a squash soup that it quite similar to this one. It’s always delicious and nutritious. A good combination!
I guess that I cook by instinct also. I tend to read recipes and then improvise changes to suit my tastes. I often read 3 or 4 recipes and pick parts of each. Haha. The soup looks quite tasty.
Sabrosa. Qué buena pinta tiene.
Un abrazo
Great that you grow your own squash for the soup! I make a similar recipe but I always add onions to every soup.
I do love any kind of squash soup. But what a mess you had along the way! But I bet it was delicious and worth the effort!
This sounds simple and yummy. I may borrow your recipe. I'll let you know when I try it! ;)
Nicole, great minds, etc., we just had squash soup also. But we wanted it more “robust” so added a cauliflower, chicken thighs, coconut milk, some Mae Ploy green curry paste, and served with basmati rice, made us very happy campers.
That looks really good.
That looks delicious. My wife uses a stick blender to wiz it up and make it creamy. I love that kind of soup, it's so soothing.
thanks
Has creado uno de mis platos preferidos, la crema de calabaza. Me encanta. Aunque añadiré alguna de tus sugerencias. Gracias por compartirlo. Un abrazo

Do you buy ghee from market or there is any other source like drops from village near by .i mean we call ghee that is made from buffalo butter and we have to buy it from the house in village where women make it because they own their own buffalo.
