Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi, thanks for the info about butternut squash. I now have 2 pepper squash's on my cupboard I don't know what to do with. I bought them for a table decoration at Thanksgiving and I feel guilty about not using them. So, does anyone have any recipes I could use for pepper squash. Thanks again 225/169/I'll know when I get there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I have a squash soup recipe I like that is for butternut squash but likely would work with any squash. For butternut squash - Bake at 350 30-40 minutes, until fully soft. Let cool and scrape out soft squash. In a soup pan saute onion and garlic to taste until soft (leeks are also good) in 1 T olive oil. Add six cups of broth, vegetable, chicken, beef, whatever. I use the low salt kind and then salt it later myself. Simmer for half hour or so. Add the squash and mash it in as best possible with a potato masher, wire whisk, whatever works. Spice according to taste. I add seasoned salt, white pepper and a little cayenne pepper, but you can make it a different soup by adding ginger, rosemary, etc. It's kind of fun to experiment. Simmer for another half hour. Then blend the entire thing either in a blender or large food processor until it is the consistent of split pea soup. Pour back in the pan. I serve it with a little parmeson sprinkled on top. Now, I am not sure what portion size on this should be since squash is a starchy vegetable, but I imagine as a side dish a cup of this every so often on a cold night won't be too bad an idea in phase 2. I hope this is helpful. D > > Hi, thanks for the info about butternut squash. I now have 2 pepper > squash's on my cupboard I don't know what to do with.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Forgot to say to cut the squash in half, take the seeds out and bake face down on a cookie sheet.
