From the kitchen of Stacy Hart
2 slices bacon (this is optional, I often don't do because I try not to have bacon around too much)
1/2 medium onion, chopped finely
1 large leek, chopped finely
1 large garlic glove, minced (I like to use the frozen Trader Joes cubes, just 1)
1 bay leaf
1.25 lbs butternut squash (approx 2) cut into 1" squares
1 medium tart apple
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water (+/-)
sour cream/bacon bits as topping
Crisp and brumble bacon for topping. Reserve 1/5 tsp of bacon fat and cook leek, onlion, garlic, bay lear, and salt/pepper to taste. Cook until softened. Then add squash, apple (peeled and chopped), water, broth, and simmer 15 minutes. Take bay leaf out. Puree soup in blender or food processor.
Stacy brought some of this over when I had the baby. It was delicious, healthy, AND ELLIOT LOVED IT TOO. What could be better?
ReplyDeleteIt must be good if it comes from Stacy's kitchen. I'm just sayin'...
