This is a soup, the recipe for which I got from a former friend who got it from some newspaper, newsletter or magazine and then used it to make this tremendously lovely soup for her cafe. I no longer know where she is or what happened to her cafe, but this remains..and THIS is absolutely FABULOUS, even if I'm the only one in the house who likes it. I guess you have to first like squash and squash-related recipes, first.
Honestly, the most labor-intensive part of this whole deal is peeling and cutting up the squash. You need a sharp, serrated paring knife or a sharp larger knife....and you need to be absolutely CAREFUL, keeping the knife and the blade pointed away from you and away from your hands at all times!
See how oddly shaped it is? It's very unwieldy and tempermental and TOUGH to cut up! A tablesaw might work better.
So, apart from that particular task, cutting up the veggies and putting it all together in the pot takes all of about 5 to 7 minutes.
Keep on reading or you'll never know how to make this delightful soup....and you won't get to see all the lovely pictures of the entire process!
