Spiced Roasted Red Kuri Squash Soup

This hearty Spiced Roasted Red Kuri Squash Soup, fragrant with seasonal spice, makes a deliciously comforting and heartwarming dinner, after spending the arvo installing Christmas lights in the cold (and rain!) Happy Monday!

Ingredients (serves 4):

2 small or one large Red Kuri Squashes, thoroughly scrubbed

1 onion

2 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Mixed Spice

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 ½ litre/6 cups boiling water

2 tablespoons demerara sugar

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Halve and seed Red Kuri Squashes, cut them into large pieces, and place into a large roasting tin. Peel and quarter onion, and place in the middle of the tin as well. Peel garlic cloves and add to the tin, too.

Season Red Kuri Squashes with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Then, sprinkle evenly with Mixed Spice and smoked paprika. Finally, drizzle generously with olive oil. Toss with clean hands, to coat the Red Kuri Squash pieces in spices and oil.

Linktober, Day 12: Tarry Town!

You defeat the final boss in the volcano causing the floating islands to float! Congrats. Unfortunately, with the destruction of the said monster, the islands are no longer floating and are, in fact, slowly coming down enmass as the magnesis scatters.

Zelda would like to point out people are much more likely to survive walking around slow giant rocks from the sky versus dodging flaming lava. She’s practicing this new thing called positive thinking.

Roasted/pan fried zucchini is the most delicious thing ever. Appreciate squashes

Dinosaur freezes a large amount of food and considers himself very well prepared indeed to recover from surgery.

(I don't normally add patreon links to posts, but I will this time since I'm about to miss a few weeks of work. Thank you to my patrons for making that a less bad thing financially than it would be otherwise!)

I spend like, maybe an hour standing in the kitchen, cutting vegetable and preparing stuff, and I’m tired and my feet hurt 🥲

Spicy Butternut Squash Soup (Vegan)

After a walk in the woods at sunset, or a long, rainy day, thisSpicy Butternut Squash Soup is warming and comforting in more than one way! I welcome Soup Season as the Autumn days cool as eagerly as the first Salad Days of Spring, and I love how the food we cook in these often grey, wet and cold November days becomes hearty and warm with spices! Happy Wednesday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

the top halve of a large butternut squash, thoroughly rinsed

1 small onion

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/2 teaspoon Piment d'Espelette or Cayenne Pepper

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

½ teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons Chili and Herb Oil 

4 to 5 cups boiling water

1 tablespoon demerara sugar

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Cut butternut squash with a sharp knife into large pieces. Place butternut squash pieces, cut-side up on a pizza pan or a in a large roasting tin.

Peel and halve onion, and add to the pan.

Sprinkle evenly with coarse sea salt, Piment d'Espelette, black pepper and dried thyme, and drizzle generously with Chili and Herb Oil. Place in the oven, and roast, at 200°C/395°F, for 1 hour.

Spoon roasted butternut squash pieces and onion into a blender, and cover with half of the hot boiling water. Process, gradually adding boiling water until the soup's  thickness is to your liking. Pour roasted butternut squash soup into the saucepan, and warm over medium heat, stirring in demerara sugar until melted. Once slowly boiling, allow to simmer, a few minutes.

Serve Spicy Butternut Squash Soup hot, sprinkled with Piment d'Espelette.
