Divine (Squash) Soup
This is from my dearest friend:
I made this soup tonight. It’s is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. In stead of pears, I used apples, diced them and tossed them in cinnamon and roasted them with the squash. I also roasted the garlic. I didn’t have onion, but next time I will roast that with the rest of them, thus resulting in less time that the soup needs to actually simmer. I didn’t measure the curry, but probably used at least 4 tbsp, instead of just one. I also didn’t have real ginger so I used about 2 tsp of ginger powder. Instead of half and half, I used fat free evaporated milk, but after reading some of the reviews, next time I might use yogurt or coconut milk. I think I will also add a bit of nutmeg and cloves to the pot too. Give it a try, it’s sooooo yummy!!!!
