Butternut Squash (and maybe sweet potato) Soup?
Does anyone have a really awesome recipe for butternut squash soup? I made that Cooking Light creamy mac and cheese again this week and have a whole bunch of squash left (already cubed too!).
I was thinking of doing a soup with some sweet potato, but my "wing it" soups usually just come out "okay", not "awesome!".
Cream is ok, and we generally like a bit of a kick to our squash soups.

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Ditto - usually we roast the squash, add sauteed onions, garlic, chicken stock, milk or cream, curry powder. Then blend!

So, I ended up winging it, and it was freaking awesome. In the past I've struggled with adding enough seasoning, so I really took my time and tested is this time. Once I'd added enough salt it was just glorious.
Also? I super duper
my immersion blender. Holy crap, that was one of the smoothest soups I've ever made, and I didn't strain it!
