Butternut Squash Soup
Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop, talking about an old favorite, Butternut Squash Soup. Tonight was a good night for soup.
Actually, I think any night is a good night for soup. The Butternut Squash Soup I made was delicious. The combination of spices—thyme, basil and sage—gave it a robust flavor. We paired that with a fresh artichoke with butter and some scrumptious bread from the European Market. Sometimes we eat it with homemade Dillie Bread (it’s super good).
We were watching Taevi (age 2) tonight, but she was exhausted after supper and fell asleep on the stairs when trying to get to Papaw Don. She was just too tired to make it all the way up the stairs, I guess.
Taevi: Too tired to climb the stairs!
