Recipe: Squash Soup
Autumn, Halloween, falling leaves, red and orange trees… Squash season has arrived and it’s time for food bloggers to share their best soup/cake/gratin squash recipes!
My first squash recipe of this autumn is a soup… nothing complicated, nothing fancy. Just a hearty delicious bowl of soup to warm you up after a grey autumn day.
I don’t give exact quantities in the recipe below as it mostly depends on the size of the squash and the number of guests you have.
I made a recipe for 3-4 servings and used a small to medium-sized squash, 2 potatoes and 1 small bay leaf.
Squash Soup
Ingredients:
- a squash
- potatoes
- vegetable or chicken stock
- milk
- bay leaf
- salt and pepper
Method:
Peel the squash and potatoes and cut them into chunks. Put in a large saucepan with a bay leaf (a small one for a medium-sized squash, otherwise it will be too strong). Cover with stock and milk (I used approximately 2/3 vegetable stock and 1/3 milk).
Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Take the bay leaf out and blend the soup. Adjust seasoning.
Serve in warm bowls or in the squash shell if you want to waouh you guests ;).
Bon Appétit!

This time of year, those squash and gourds are everywhere, but few people know what to do with them except use as a decoration.
Pumpkin, butternut, acorn, all squash can be poached and pureed for a soup. My favorite is butternut squash and granny smith apple with a little nutmeg and cinnamon.
Thank you for your article that will hopefully motivate people to look at their porch decorations as actual food this year.
