So remember my telling you the story how Mr. Fantabulous locked me in the car AND set the alarm while I was still under quarantine when he went into the grocery store on the way home from my dr’s appt?  Yeah, I’m so going to get him back for that one of these days! Anyway, remember my telling him how to buy a butternut squash and drawing a picture of one?  And remember my telling you how ginormous this thing was?  How I actually ended up making 2 dishes out of one? I made the Butternut squash gratin (which is amazing!) and this soup.

This soup was kind of a pot luck I-think-all-these-ingredients-go-together recipe.  I really had no clue what to do with the rest of the butternut squash.  And since pumpkin is a type of squash (isn’t it?) I figured I could turn it into a soup.  Fall is all about soup.  Just like it’s pumpkin season, it’s Soup Season in my house. I could eat soup every day.  There’s just something comforting about soup.

I can remember growing up we only had 3, maybe 4 types of soup in our house.  Chicken Noodle (which was incredible!), beef soup, tomato soup and potato/ham/cabbage/bean soup.  Mom would make vegetable soup but I wasn’t having anything to do with that as well it was all veggies and that’s just icky. Wha?  I was a very picky child! But I grew up…sorta. I mean I’ll always be a big kid.  I giggle at the most inappropriate things.  I think the word ‘poop’ is the funniest thing ever (yeah I know, great word for a FOOD blog Lor!).  I still say ‘Nuh uh!’ in an argument from time to time.  I become 8 years old when Ruldoph comes on TV.  I still love to color.  Seriously there isn’t anything more awesome than lying on a big pillow on the floor, feet up the air (crossed) coloring in a big coloring book with a brand new box of crayons.

So yeah, I’m a big kid!

This soup is super easy to make.  If you can peel and chop stuff and turn on a crock pot, you’re set!  The only thing I will warn you about this soup is the odors are strong.  No they aren’t bad but they are really strong ‘Fall’ smells.  I loved it but they were too strong for Mr. Fantabulous.  Once the soup was done I pureed it and then added a drizzle more maple syrup and cream on top.  The soup is velvety and smooth.  It’s not thick.. well you could make it thick if you didn’t puree it as much as I did.  This soup paired PERFECTLY with my Turkey Arugula Apple Butter Panini.  Seriously it was the PERFECT soup and sandwich!

      Carl,

      In the recipe above, upper right corner of the recipe there is a “PRINT” button (in gray) that is labeled PRINT with a printer icon. Click that and it will open up a new window that will bring up your default printer. This has been tested in multiple browsers, mobile phones and tablets.

      If the window is not coming up for you then it is a setting on your computer that will not allow a pop-up.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!
