Curried Butternut Squash Soup

I LOVE BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP!!!

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this soup. To give you some idea you should know that I insisted on having a fall wedding with a soup and salad first course. The soup was butternut squash, obviously! As soon as we had it at the tasting I knew that our wedding meal was going to be amazing. It was. Just to be clear, I like butternut everything. We also had a butternut squash ravioli at the wedding which was also delicious. I try to request butternut squash soup for thanksgiving every year even if my mom has already decided to make something different. I am desperately trying to make this a Thanksgiving staple just like the sweet potatoes and dressing.

I decided to make this soup for another dinner series. The hubby and I had our friends come over for a fall themed Sunday meal. I knew I was going to make butternut squash soup because I love it but also because From the Farmer had delivered a perfect specimen earlier in the week.

We also made a visit to the Farmer’s Market to get some extra ingredients for our fall themed meal. We ran into our friend Tyler who was joining us for dinner and was a market pro. He showed us the ropes and the best spots in the market. He also introduced me to baby ginger (Below). FYI I googled “baby ginger”… I was overwhelmed by the number of baby red heads I stumbled upon. I was also kicking myself for not bringing my camera, the market was so colorful with all of the fall produce showing off their brilliant colors.

This soup is perfect for a crisp fall day. I added the curry powder just to kick it up a notch. I really like curry with butternut squash and I think the sweetness in the squash pairs nicely with the exotic kick of curry. I also added some apple to the pot which happened to be lying around. I’ll be posting a few apple treats soon that we enjoyed at the same dinner.

I am thinking about experimenting with some spaghetti squash soon so be on the look out for more fall fun on Haute Pepper. Coming Soon: Cider Braised Pork Roast and Apple Pie!
