Here it is!  Another great soup for another really cold day.

Squash soup

4 T. butter
1 medium to large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced

Melt butter, then gently saute onion and garlic until tender and translucent, about 10 min.

Add:

1 large or 2 small squash (I bake ahead of time in the oven, then scoop out and freeze.)
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
1 t. ginger
1/4 t. cloves
couple shakes cayenne pepper (don’t overdo)
2-3 c. water or chicken broth (add more if you like soup thinner)

Gently cook to a simmer and simmer for about 15 min., taking care not to burn the bottom of the soup to the pot.   Soup will be very fragrant.
Use a handheld blender and puree the soup in the pot, or transfer soup to a blender and puree, and then put back in the pot.  Add 3/4-1 c. cream to hot soup and stir, then serve immediately (do not heat to simmer again, or cream will curdle.)  Season with celtic sea salt and enjoy!

I was out shoveling snow this morning and freezing my tail off.  When I came in, I wanted something warm for breakfast.  Luckily, last night I made a potato soup that my wife and I love.  These are the only potatoes I eat all year, so I savor each bowl of filling soup.  It is actually filling enough that this was all we had for supper last night and a few slices of fruit.

If you need a warm meal after being outside try this.

Ingredients for 2 people:

• 3 medium potatoes (Preferably organic)
• Onion (small)
• Green beans (about 2 cups)
• Dill (as much as you like), we use a lot.
• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 2 cups Milk (Preferably raw, if not then whole milk)
• Salt / Pepper (Preferably Celtic Sea Salt)

Step 1:  Start with the potatoes.  Clean the outsides, leave the peels on.  Cut into 4 pieces.  Boil for 20 minutes

Step 2:  Steam the green beans ~7 minutes

Step 3:  Heat the milk on medium on the stove ~10 minutes.  Be careful not to heat too high or too long.  You want it to be “soup” temperature hot.

Step 4:  Blend on “High” for 1 minute.  Milk,  butter, dill, 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the green beans, 1/2 of the onion.

Step 5:  Add the rest, blend on low to just chop the rest up.  This gives it a chunky texture.

Step 6:  Salt and Pepper to taste.
