    I have a GREAT curried butternut squash soup recipe. I use this one to work from:
    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/235295/curried-butternut-squash-soup/

    I don't put in the cream--you don't need it. I have homemade chicken stock all the time in the freezer, so I use that, and honey is negotiable.

    And OMG don't peel and cut up the squash. That's way too hard. Just hack it in half, scrape out the seeds, salt it, and cook it in the oven on a cookie sheet until it's soft, then scrape it into the soup. You will love this recipe, I promise.


  • Here is my favorite recipe. The photo on the website doesn't do it justice. I use goat cheese instead of ricotta, and it is DELICIOUS

    I use a recipe like this a lot, but with a generic spice mix instead of their Ras El Hanout, and a basic vegetable stock cube.

    That sounds really, really good. Gonna need to try that - thanks!

    My daughter gave me a variety of spice blends for Christmas, including Raz El Hanout (they spelled it with "z" rather than "s" - dont know which version is preferred). I've used it for a baked chicken flavoring and a couscous dish, and have begun looking for additional uses. Since we all love butternut squash, this recipe looks like a winner to try. Thanks!
