Butternut Squash Soup


Winter chill has finally hit the northeast. It's been one of the warmest winters in ages. All we want to see is an inch or two of snow SOMETIME before spring. I want to see the kids wearing their PJ's inside-out in hopes that we have school closings. Don't you love those early morning radio school closing announcements? You know how all the kids huddle around the radio to really listen for their school.

Anyhoo, it was cold enough for that midwinter delicacy, Butternut Squash Soup. Mmmm. And this time I made it extra thick. Not exactly by design, mind you, but by steaming more squashes (squashi?) than needed. I don't know how you feel about a hot bowl of that thick orange stuff. For us it's truly livin'. Total comfort food. Warms yer belly & soothes yer heart. Ain't no wars started over a bowl of Butternut Squash Soup, I'm sure.
