Squash City

This evening be decided he needed squash soup. After the success of the kabocha squash roast we weren't so hesitant to try the acorn or butternut varieties sitting on the counter. He printed out some recipes but ended up improvising with some suggestions from me. He cooked the 1 acorn and 2 of the butternut squashes in the microwave (as opposed to the oven), made a pot of stock and blended them together with some herbs and seasonings. On his bowl he dollopped some sour cream and sprinkled toasted pine nuts and vegetarian bacon bits. On mine i wanted a swirl of homemade pesto (frozen from the summer), pine nuts and bacon bits. I thought my combination was better; i don't really like sour cream, but both were really rich and good. I think we like squash! Now we just need to work on that fennel.
