Soup just right for a misty, chilly November lunchtime, together with Tod's sour dough rye bread.
We're thinking about moving back down to the cosiness of the cottage.

The last but one ...
... of our butternut squashes that grew on the bank behind the cottage, chopped up with some carrot and thrown in a big saucepan with lots of chicken stock and simmered vigorously while a diced onion, garlic and ginger are sweated down in butter; all to be added to the pot, plus chilli and black pepper, medium curry and a bayleaf; then whisked creamy smooth and back in the pan on the heat for two large dollops of crème fraîche to be stirred in.

Sounds pretty good on a warm summer's day in Costa Rica, too!
ReplyDeleteSoup for lunch!
I roasted about 40 heads of garlic, squeezed out the paste and froze it in lumps. Try adding a couple of those to any soup and you won't need the chicken broth.
ReplyDeleteIn the early summer, I make pesto from our garlic scapes with almonds and parmesan cheese. I freeze that in ice cube trays so I can throw a chunk in a soup or pasta sauce. But there are never enough scapes!
Hi Fly, I envy you your warm summer's day. We've started to go very chilly and damp!
ReplyDeleteYour garlic paste sounds like a great idea Sharyn and the pesto sauce. Never come across the word scape before. Had to look it up. :)
Thanks for the recipe, Sue. Just the thing for the weather we've been having. I love soup at any time of year and collect recipes like other people collect old china. :-)
ReplyDeletePleasure. :) I just wish we had more butternut squash! I didn't realise I should have kept pinching out the new growth to make the plants branch more and produce more fruit. Next year!
