Squash Soup

I had this beautiful beast of a squash in my veg box...


Don't you just love the glorious colour?  Such a blast of sunshine in these dismal winter days!  So, sunshine soup was on the cards.  ;o)  I used half of the beast, chopped up and then fried with chopped onion, garlic and cumin...


Then sploshed in a bit of stock and simmered until the squash was soft.


Then I whizzed it all up with a few jiggers of milk and served with a swirl of cream and some bacon flavoured bits, oh and some hot buttered toast of course!


Squashes make such gorgeously smooth, sexy soups!  Soup-a-rama!  ;o)
