Another successful food experiment!

I've had a butternut squash in my pantry for an embarrassingly long time, but fortunately, squash are resilient little buggers and it was perfectly fine. I've never made butternut squash soup before, but I was determined to try following a friends' half-mentioned recipe.

So I roasted it for 45 minutes yesterday, chopped it up, tossed it in a pot with a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes, a can of coconut milk, some salt, and about two tablespoons of Sriracha and just let it simmer for awhile. Once it was cool I blended it up smooth and both DH and I are enjoying it immensely for lunch today!

I always thought I hated squash because all I grew up being served was the bright yellow zucchini squash which is gross. Then...I got the inclination to try butternut squash because we were always seeing butternut squash soup on the cooking shows we were watching. Instant love. And I mean instant. It's sooo good! It has this wonderful natural sweetness to it.

I also like spaghetti squash. It's fun to take a fork to. 

I had butternut squash soup for lunch today, but it wasn't homeade. Still yummy though! The coconut milk is a good idea.

Yummy! I'm not a fan of the squish, but that actually sounds good because it had coconut milk and Sriracha in it!

It is squashy, but it's also quite spicy. I think I need to put Sriracha in more things.

My friend is a pretty clever gal when it comes to improvising soups and stews. I usually need to have a recipe! And I've never been a fan of squash until I was introduced to butternut... I'm going to have to try spaghetti squash now!
