I thought I had a butternut squash leftover from my first CSA share, so I planned to make this butternut squash apple soup. So, I sent DJ to the grocery to get a few things we needed. He got home, gathered the ingredients, and realized that our butternut squash had gone bad. Way bad. So, he had to run back out to get another. Of course, that meant that we weren't really using any of the veggies from our share . . . but, it was worth it. The soup was delicious! I've always liked the idea of squash soups, but have never tried them. I really enjoyed it. The tart from the apple really blends well with the squash, and balances the flavors. This is an easy, tasty soup! I made a few changes, such as roasting the butternut squash first, but that just made it easier to cut the squash up. Plus, it gave it another flavor, from the roasting.

Perfect Soup
I love soup for dinner, paired with some form of a grilled cheese sandwich. I have only made a few soups, though. We typically pull out a can of soup . . . I know, I know. Blasphemy. But, I do occasionally make soup, and I do want to try more recipes. One of my favorites is actually a Weight Watcher's recipe for spicy black bean soup. Tonight, however, I found a new favorite. It's Gourmet magazine's Thai-spiced tomato soup, and was recently featured by The Wednesday Chef. The recipe is so simple and so delicious. It makes a perfectly creamy, yet not too rich tomato soup with the perfect spices. The lime and cilantro are perfect additions to accent the red curry paste. DJ (my husband) picked up some of the ingredients we needed, and happened to get some spicy thai kettle chips, which went perfectly with the soup. I highly recommend this recipe!
