ummm, hi. hello. sorry i'm late. do you know i've posted 11 times in 2010? yup, blogger FAIL. my bad.it's not that i haven't cooked... well, i didn't more or less all summer because my darling husband can (and WILL) grill an. y. thing. (nom.) when we moved, we got a new grill to go with our new patio-- a full-height camping grill. beats the one that sits six inches off the ground. and it gets a full-sized propane tank. HOORAY. he also got a cuisinart griddler for our anniversary. so much grilling.
um, yeah, anyway.
lately i don't want to blog without pictures, i guess, so i just don't blog. but while my parents were in paris, france, europe the past couple weeks, we got their csa and i've been cooking some interesting stuff. like butternut harvest soup.
ingredients:
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, gutted and cubed
- 1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and cubed
- 2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 leeks (white and light parts only) cleaned and chopped
- 2 tbs butter
- 6ish cups chicken broth
- salt, pepper, nutmeg
- greek yogurt
- peel, gut, core, chop, cube
- saute leeks and carrots in butter until tender
- add broth and bring to a boil
- add apple & squash and simmer until squash is easily pierced with a fork
- remove from heat and blend in a food processor or with an immersion blender
- season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg if you like
- stir a heaping tablespoon of greek yogurt into each bowl
