My soup experiment

[Guest guest]

I still have an abundance of butternut squash to use up from last

summer. This week I made up some soup that I thought was pretty good,

I've been eating it all week. DH gave it the thumbs-down, though, he

didn't like the sweet taste of the butternut squash. No recipe, I

just made it up and here's what I used.

 

Butternut squash, about 1 1/2 lbs, peel and seed

4-5 medium potatoes, peeled

1/4 cup wild rice

1 cup water

Imagine brand Un-chicken broth

1 large onion, chopped

Vegetarian bacon bits

 

Peel and seed squash, and peel potatoes. Put both in pot of boiling

water and cook about 20 minutes until soft. While this is cooking,

prepare wild rice: add 1/4 cup of wild rice to 1 cup of boiling

water, reduce heat and simmer 40-50 minutes. In a separate skillet

fry the onion in a little olive oil until it starts to get brown and

carmelize. Drain potato/squash mixture and mash somewhat, leaving

some bite-size chunks. Add enough broth to make the mixture " soupy " ,

add fried onions, wild rice, and bacon bits to taste. Heat through

and serve.
