soup day

I feel a bit of a cold coming on. So in addition to swallowing lots of capsules in the hopes of shifting it, I made soup. (Well, I've also been feeling guilty because I haven't made a Christmas gift I promised my sister-in-law). So I defrosted a huge bag of roasted pumpkin from the freezer and pureed it and made soup.

Harvest Soup (adapted from The Canadian Living Cookbook)

1 small onion, diced

2 apples, peeled, cored and diced

1 tbsp butter

3 cups roasted squash or pumpkin puree

3 cups vegetable or chicken stock

1 cup cream

Seasonings (salt, pepper, thai chili sauce)

Add the butter, onion and apple to a medium hot pan and saute until the onion and apple are soft but not browned.

Add the squash

and the broth, bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes. Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Add the cream and season to taste.

Soup's up!
