Loading ...I was going to post one of my grandmother’s recipes, but her recipe box is more disorganized than, well… me. I couldn’t find what I was looking for. So instead here’s a nice autumn soup.
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 tbsp. butter
2 cups pumpkin pulp
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. honey or molasses
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup half and half or fat free half and half
Bring broth and butter to a boil. Add salt, honey and vegetables. Lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Add nutmeg and pepper, stir then remove from heat. Stir in cream. Transfer to a blender a little at a time and blend. Serve hot with a dark grainy bread.
Buy me a beer!

Wow, that sounds like an excellent recipe!
BTW, last night we were watching television for the few minutes we have together during the week (cry bitch moan). But wait, there’s more. Lo and behold, on a completely non-cooking channel we saw a glorious, fancy commercial for… BLENDER! Yes, BLENDER got its own ad on prime time (cable) TV. And it was a nice Blender, which you can see here. Why, you can even disassemble it to put the jar in the dishwasher … oh, such a joy that would be. You can even chop a huge bunch of almonds with it. I never get enough of that. Alright, I never do that, but I could if I wanted.
Think of all the glorious SP Blender recipes we could make! Delicious soup in minutes — and cleanup is a breeze! Call or go online to order your Blender today.
What a lovely blender. It looks… like it should be flying through space.
I’m in awe.
I too was awestruck. The things it can do with almonds… and frozen drinks… [Homer drool sound]
That just sounds so TASTY!!!
I’m afraid though butternut squash is not too common here..
You should bundle those recipes of your grandmother!
Yeah I had trouble finding butternut squash in england. I did get some ONCE - found it in Marks and Spencer’s.
I’m pretty sure you could find a reasonable substitute.
If you have pumpkin or acorn squash, it’s a decent substitute for butternut squash. Just don’t get the high sugar pumpkins… unless you want your soup sweeeeeeet! Mmmmm, butternut.
Makes me think of pumpkin soup. Which I quite like.
But not today. It’s too hot out. Not Georgia hot. Or apparently Pheonix hot, where they had 29 days of heat about 110!
Even at a dry heat, that is pretty bad.
