A Delicious Squash Soup Recipe
I’ve recently been home to my mother’s house, and she cooked me a fantastic meal with a great starter – namely squash soup. I’ve never had squash soup before so I asked her how she made it and it turns out to be family secret. However, since it was so delicious I’ve got her permission to now blow the secret wide open and publish the recipe online!
Here are the ingredients that you will need:
Three pounds of squash, two tablespoons of maple syrup, four cups of chicken stock (or vege stock if you prefer), two garlic cloves, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a large onion, three tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper
Firstly, we need to get the squash ready. Using a normal potato peeler, remove the skin. Then cut the squash in half and using a large spoon remove all the seeds from inside the squash. Now simply chop the squash up into fairly big pieces for later.
Now you need to peel and slice the onions into small pieces. Do the same with the two cloves of garlic. Now, get a large pot and preheat it to a medium heat. Once warm, add the butter and coat the bottom of the pan as it melts. While the butter is melting, add to the pan the onions and cook them for around five minutes, ensuring the onion doesn’t get hot enough to brown. Now add in the garlic and cinnamon and cook for another thirty seconds. Finally add in the chopped squash and chicken stock, put the lid on the pan and cook for a further 25 minutes.
The squash should be fully cooked after 25 minutes, so keep checking until you are sure. Once you’re happy the squash is cooked blend the mixture into a fine, smooth soup, add the maple syrup if required, blend some more, before finally dishing up to individual bowls and serving!
