Three Squash Soup

3 squashes (butternut, buttercup, acorn squash, etc.)


1 cup plain soy milk or vegetable stock

½ cup cinnamon applesauce

2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar

2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

½ tsp. cayenne (optional)

1-2 Tbs. maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

salt & pepper (to taste)



Directions:

Wash each squash and slice in half; remove most seeds. Note: a few seeds are okay - they will actually add some toasted nutty flavor when blended into the soup.

Turn oven to 375 degrees; fill large glass casserole dish 1 inch high with water and place each squash face down in water; roast for 45 minutes or until tender.

Pull squash from the oven and drain hot water; rinse squash in cold water and scoop flesh into a large bowl; when scooped you should have around 4 cups. Note: a few soft skins are okay if they are scooped as well.

Place squash and remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Serve immediately so soup is warm but not hot. Garnish with a few leftover squash slices and cayenne if desired. You can also store in the fridge and reheat as necessary or heat to boiling on the stove for a hot squash soup. Makes about 5-6 cups

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Broccoli Cheese Soup


Recipe: Start with about ½ C of water and Washington’s Golden Seasoning & Broth in medium pot. Have fresh broccoli steaming in meantime. Add Rich’s Non-Dairy Creamer as main liquid to pot. I add about 2 TB of heavy whipping cream. About 3 TB of Butter. On high and add cornstarch and Cambrooke’s ShakenCheese – stir frequently and fast with a whisk until blended (cheese never completely blends, don’t worry about it). Once broccoli is almost steamed, removed from heat while it is still al dente. Put a minced slice of onion into a pan to sauté, chop up broccoli and add to onion and slightly sauté together – add to pot with creamer. Mix. I also add Butter Buds Sprinkles for more flavoring. This recipe is to taste – add more creamer, butter, etc depending on taste and needed calories for the day.
