This butternut squash soup recipe came in handy when my garden<\/a> overflowed with the vegetable this year. \u00a0It makes a thick, hearty soup. If you have home-canned chicken or turkey broth<\/a>, so much the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you grow your own butternut squash<\/a>, this is the perfect recipe to enjoy the harvest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to bake several butternut squash in the oven when I am cooking other food so that I have some on hand to make into other recipes or eat for lunch or dinner. While I baked chicken for dinner, I cooked the squash. Then, the cooled squash was ready to peel, dice, and add to the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try this recipe for butternut squash soup in the fall when squash is plentiful and inexpensive. Adding a green apple such as a Granny Smith lends sweetness as well as tartness to the recipe. I used a Jonathan apple from one of our trees<\/a>. The taste was sweet and flavorful.<\/p>\n\n\n

Homemade Chicken or Turkey Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another plus with this recipe is that I could use some of the homemade chicken or turkey stock <\/a>I had made and canned. My method of making homemade stock<\/a> is quite simple. It’s a great way to make bone broth, chicken broth, or turkey broth without spending hours in the kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gardeners are a generous lot. When I was growing up, it wasn’t uncommon for neighbors to share their produce with our large family. Fresh tomatoes, rhubarb, strawberries, asparagus…it was all a gift, shared freely, from neighbors who had extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to “pay it forward” whenever my garden obliges and this year afforded me a good opportunity to share of the bounty of vegetables from my organic garden. Too many tomatoes, cantaloupe, herbs, and butternut squash<\/a> meant I had plenty to give away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Karel at church gladly accepted some of the butternut squash and cantaloupe and mentioned she had a soup recipe I might like. Would I care to try it? Yes, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She mailed me the recipe, and I tinkered with it, and the result is this butternut squash<\/a> soup recipe.  It is not exactly the same as Karel’s recipe but close enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
