Roasted Three Squash Soup

While this simmered over low heat for several hours, I prepared a baked spinach dish I found at Allrecipes.com and steamed red potatoes to accompany this fabulous soup!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the butternut, acorn and spaghetti squashes cut side down on a roasting pan. Wrap garlic in foil, or place in a garlic roaster. Roast squash and garlic in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes.

Step: 2

Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute the onion for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in ginger and curry powder; cook 3 more minutes. Stir in apples and sherry; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Transfer mixture to a blender and set aside.

Step: 3

When the squash and garlic are done squeeze half the garlic into the apple mixture. Process mixture for 1 minute until blended, but still slightly chunky. Return mixture to pot over medium-low heat.

Step: 4

In the blender, puree small batches of squash flesh and vegetable broth. Transfer each batch to the pot with the apple mixture.

Step: 5

Stir in red bell pepper, rosemary, parsley, basil, thyme, black pepper, salt and cayenne. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step: 6

About 30 minutes before serving add zucchini, green onions and hot water.

The word “stew” can refer to both a dish and a cooking method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull water based . It’s similar to braising, instead it makes have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being processing menu all of it , and the water based material completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables 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 right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor goes way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
