Giselas Butternut Squash Soup
This is a recipe given to me by my mother before she passed away. As with anything involving butternut it’s a little time intensive but it’s well worth it! So creamy and delicious! Garnish with croutons and/or parsley, and serve with garlic bread.

DIRECTION
Step: 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, and stir in the butternut squash cubes, orange juice, and orange zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the squash cubes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step: 2
Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour back into the pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Whisk in sour cream until smooth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat over medium-low heat until almost simmering, and serve hot.

It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces but of being processing menu all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the essential in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
