BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP
This soup is a family favorite that is a variation on a soup I had at a church potluck. We'd had a bunch of butternut and acorn squash plus some mystery hybrid squash come up in our compost pile and soup seemed the perfect way to use them up. You can use any combination of winter squash in this. I usually cut the squash in half and microwave it cut side down in some water for about 2 minutes on high to make it easier to peel and cube. Cooking time includes time to broil the peppers.

ROASTED AND CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
This is my original recipe and can be either vegetarian or meat based. It also freezes well - just thaw, heat and add cream or yoghurt before serving. It's delicious and well worth the extra steps of roasting and pureeing. Enjoy!

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND POBLANO SOUP
My mom and I came up with this soup one afternoon when we realized that we still had some butternut squash left from earlier in the week. The poblano gives a very subtle heat. Everyone I know loves it. Even my fiance, who doesn't even like soup! I am not positive about the amounts of water/stock...it sort of depends what consistency you like. I like it fairly thick - probably more like a bisque than a true soup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- Remove squash flesh (once it's cool enough to touch) and put it in medium-large pot.
- Remove the skin of the poblano (it looks a little plastic-y), tear the flesh into pieces/strips and drop in the pot.
- Add the stock/water and puree in a blender or using an immersion blender.
- Add cumin and pepper (black or white).
- Add lime juice.
- Cook over medium heat until it is reduced to a consistency that you like, stirring occasionally. If you add more water, it may be necessary to blend again.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until tender, about 12 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Add squash and 5 1/2 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until squash is soft, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return puree to pot. Add 1 teaspoon thyme and orange peel. Thin soup with more broth if desired. Simmer 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving, thinning with more broth if desired.)
- Ladle soup into bowls. Swirl 1 tablespoon Roasted Red Pepper Puree into soup in each bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons thyme and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful butternut squash. Look for squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the butternut squash and peppers before adding them to the soup. This step intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer, more complex taste.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that is flavorful and has a good body.
- Add a touch of cream or coconut milk for a creamy, rich flavor. This is optional, but it can really elevate the soup.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.
