Tuesday Soup

 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. 
You will need fresh squash. I had on large zucchini and the rest are yellow hook neck.


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.
Once it's all blended pour in the squash and turn down the heat.
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.
That's it. So easy to make. Of course use spices that you like.
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.

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.

Great that you grow your own squash for the soup! I make a similar recipe but I always add onions to every soup.

Jeanie said...

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!

CAAC said...

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.

Mary Kirkland said...

That looks really good.

Bill said...

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.

I thank you for such a wonderful recipe,it’s so easy and healthy 👌
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.
