Butternut Squash Carrot Soup 8
Another wonderful fall soup! We ordered 25 pounds of carrots from our grocery co-op not long ago so we are making use of them. Even with all our efforts, I am sure we will end up pickling quite a few--not a bad thing.
I played with this soup a bit. I added an apple and cinnamon and nutmeg because I wanted my taste buds to shout, "Welcome Glorious Autumn!" It worked. You could easily use a pear in place of the apple.
Just look at all the wonderful produce that goes into the pot! Squash, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, sage, and apple! I felt so good eating this! My kids liked our "Halloween Soup" as well. We were able to provide this as a meal to a friend doing her part to kick cancer's hiney, and we could feel good about it! Served it garnished with freshly roasted pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds), a side of our go-to cornbread, and peach slices--a bit monochromatic but still yummy.
This looks fabulous ... the Finnish Pea, not so much!
