SQUASH SOUP
- 2 tsp olive oil or butter
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tbsp grated ginger root
- 1 tsp curry
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
- 2 cups peeled and chopped pears or apples
- 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
In a large pot cook onions in oil or butter. Once onions are soft add rest of ingredients to pot, except milk. ( Note- vegetables don't need to look perfect - it is all going to get blended - just chop to cook faster.). Bring pot to boil, then cook on medium low heat until veggies are soft. Remove from heat and place in blender to purée to desire consistency. Once blended place back in pot and bring to a slight boil again, adding milk, stirring the whole time - turn heat back to low - and it is ready to eat! Add more spice if you desire - or hot sauce at the end for an extra little kick.
