AUTUMN SQUASH SOUP
If you've never tried a butternut squash soup or pumpkin soup, then you're missing out...especially if you're a lover of sweets. Squash soup is one of my favorite things to eat in the fall and winter. When cooked, winter squashes turn soft and sweet, making them extremely versatile and comforting to eat when the weather is cool. Winter squashes like acorn and butternut squash can be hard to cut, so I like to slice them in half vertically, bake them, and then scoop out the flesh to use in a recipe. This way I don't have to kill my arm trying to cut up the squash when it's still hard as a rock.

Steps:
- Cut the squashes in half vertically and arrange them face-up on a sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the squash and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about an hour. Remove the squash when it's tender and soft. Set aside to cool.
- Chop up the onion, garlic, and jalapeño and put them in a big soup pot with the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Saute for about 10 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring frequently. Add in the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Chop up the sage and thyme and add it to the pot and stir. Remove the squashes from their skins by either scooping out the flesh or cutting into big moons and slicing like a cantaloupe. Drop the cooked squash into the soup. Pour in the maple syrup (optional) and stir.
- Puree the soup with an immersion blender or with your food processor or blender. When the soup is smooth, it's ready to eat. Adjust seasonings to your taste.
- Tip 1: Try adding a little curry powder to this recipe for an extra kick of flavor. I love curry seasonings in squash soup, and I bet it would be a nice addition if you're a curry lover.
- Tip 2: This makes a pretty thick soup. If you like it a little thinner, you can always increase the amount of vegetable stock in the recipe.

AUTUMN BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Steps:
- Preheat oven 400 degrees. Wash butternut squash. Wrap in foil. Place squash in baking dish large enough to catch juices that may seep out while baking. Bake squash for about 40-50 min., depending on how big the squash is. Use a toothpick after 40 min., every 10 min. to test the firmness of the center of the squash. The toothpick should go in easily, without pushing too hard. If you feel resistance, add another 10 min. baking time and try the toothpick test again in 10 min. (This step can be done a day ahead of time.) Wait for squash to cool. Slice butternut squash in half. Spoon out seeds and seed pulp and discard. Using a serrated tool or a spoon, scoop out the 'meat' of the squash and place aside in a bowl. Heat a thick bottomed pot under medium high heat. Add butter. Once butter has melted, add onions. After about 2 min. add garlic and stir with a wooden spoon. Once the onion and garlic have browned a bit, add 1 to 2 cups of water (or broth). Keep water simmering. Add celery, carrots and stir. Add pepper and salt and stire. Add another cup of water so as to cover the vegetables. If at any time the pot gets too dry, add another cup of water (or broth). There should always be water boiling. After 5 min. add bell pepper and stir. After another 5 min. add the butternut squash 'meat' that was set aside earlier. Stir well. If too thick, add more water (or broth) to create the thickness you desire. (If you will be serving it with cream or soy milk, leave the soup a bit on the thick side so as to thin with the cream.) Set aside to cool. With a food processor (or blender) puree the soup. Add a little water (or broth) if too thick to blend. The soup can be stored in the refridgerator to be reheated at a later time. Or you can server immediately at room temperature! If reheating, use same thick bottomed pot.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash is a popular choice for this soup, but you can also use pumpkin, acorn squash, or kabocha squash.
- Roast the squash before making the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use store-bought broth or make your own.
- Don't overcook the soup: The squash should be tender, but not mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream: This will add a pop of flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Autumn squash soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
