Buttercup Squash

• Buttercup squash, peeled, seeded and cut into ½”-3/4” wide matchsticks
• 3 TBLS olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• 2 tsp cornmeal
• 1 raw egg yolk, at room temp.
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vinegar
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

This is my basic squash soup recipe that I make all the time.  You can add other veggies to it to make endless variations.  Try adding roasted red peppers, kale, broccoli, sausage, etc. etc.  Enjoy!

Onion, any color, chopped
Butter or cooking oil
Garlic, optional
Hot pepper and/or cayenne and/or curry powder
Cooked squash flesh
Chicken broth to cover
coconut milk or cream

1 bulb garlic, top cut off to expose the tips of the cloves, roasted at 375 until soft, pulp squeezed out
Cooking oil
1 small/medium onion, chopped
1 buttercup squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped into chunks
½ teaspoon dried thyme
3-4 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
2-4 TBLS butter, optional

When I make this I don't puree it, though you could if you like a smooth texture better.  I personally like the texture of the very tender broccoli swimming around in a thick broth.  Mmmm!

1-2 medium-large onions, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1 buttercup squash, cooked, skin removed
1 bunch kale, midribs removed and chopped
1 quart chicken broth
1 pound ground pork, or spiced sausage
2 garlic cloves, minced
Minced parsley, salt and pepper

Saute onions in butter until soft.  Add squash, broth, kale, garlic.  Simmer until tender.  Add browned sausage and parsley.  Check seasonings and serve hot!
