Good morning girlies. I miss you. Mom and Dad are still here. We've been busy with fun projects and running here and there. It's been a good week. I wanted to take a minute and share a recipe with you that I found in my April Issue of Oxygen. It's Curry and Ginger Butternut Squash Soup.
I have to tell you that I'm a huge soup fan. Love all kinds...especially anything creamy. Despite it's texture this recipe is super healthy and perfect for a chilly winter day. If you love a little spice, this one's for you.
Ingredients:
1 butternut squash
4 cups water
2 tbsp canola oil or to lighten the recipe just use 2 tsp
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp curry powder
1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place face down in a baking pan with water. Bake for 45 minutes or until soft. Let cool....save water it was cooked in.
2. Heat oil in pan in large skillet or soup pot...add onion and garlic and saute until golden. Stir in curry powder, ginger and salt and pepper. Simmer on low for a few minutes.
3. Pour the squash water into the skillet and heat. Scoop out cooled squash flesh and add to the skillet. Remove from heat and let cool. When it's room temperature puree all of it in a blender or food processor with the broth. Serve.

ReplyDeleteyummy! i'll link to an older recipe today since i haven't been on the ball enough to get a recipe up!
ReplyDeleteooo! I just discovered a butternut squash soup recipe that I love, too - it has coconut milk in it to make it "creamy"... add a bit (1 cup, maybe?) and see what you think. I also love some sausage in mine, too. mmm...
ReplyDeleteI've had soups all my life, all kinds, but never butternut squash. I wonder why. This looks so good.
ReplyDeletePlease excuse that I didn't join in this week, we're away for the weekend. This looks yummy- would it make much difference if I missed the oil out? Rx

Rachael...just tweak it however you want. I don't think it would matter at all leaving the oil out.
ReplyDeleteHope you are
ReplyDeletestill enjoying
your folks, to
the last drop : )

soup-making
mood lately, too.
