I’m very meh on squash soup. I don’t hate it but I also don’t go out of my way to have it. I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever even made it. If I did I think I’d lean savory with onion and sage rather than sweet.

I made this Thai prep from Food 52 last evening. Thanks for the link.

I found it pretty good, if a bit bland and lumpy as written. It benefitted from a little black Chinese vinegar, some Yuzu hot sauce and the Vitamix. Lemongrass also called for, but next time…

I like both chunky and pureed. Only savoury, if it’s soup(y).

Currently in Japan and a only few days ago I ate kabocha (cooked together with other ingredients). Guesthouse owner’s grandmother made this soupy dish for us as part of dinner. The owner-cook himself really likes topping his rice with kabocha soup. I mentioned I liked it pureed in a risotto, almost the same idea.

At home I also like to make soupy squash with kombu/dashi. Can’t wait to eat squashes and pumpkins when I return. (Have about 20 in the house right now waiting for me)

Trying this soup. May add an apple.

Using this curry powder:

Going to blend in a Vitamix and serve in shallow soup plates, followed by this main course, with rainbow chard subbed for the beet greens:

I used to make kind of a Mexican version with cumin and topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and a bit of cotija. I cannot find the recipe though! Similar to this, but not quite
