CSA Autumn Soups: Winter Squash Soup with Parsley Pistou

Sunday, October 28, 2018

A bunch of parsley accompanied the CSA, along with a big 'old pile of various winter squashes. This soup was alright, but nothing exciting. Probably won't make again, or if I do, it will require MOAR CUMIN.

I sauteed ~1 onion's worth of shallots + 4 garlic cloves. 2 delicata squash, a bunch of carrots, and a handful of fingerling potatoes. 32oz chicken broth. Cumin, herbs de provence, and ginger. A bit of heavy whipping cream added at the end, after simmering for ~25 minutes. Essentially followed this Winter Squash Soup Recipe from SmittenKitchen combined with this Summer Squash Soup Recipe from SmittenKitchen. I also made a mint-less pistou based off SmittenKitchen's Summer Squash Soup Recipe (using a shallot instead of a scallion, curly parsley instead of flat, and adding in 5 garlic cloves).
