Well, well. Welcome messy chefs from everywhere. Today I am making something I have never made before....butternut squash soup.
Now I am sure you are asking yourself ..why butternut squash soup .. and why now. Well I live in south florida ( the miami/ft lauderdale area) and today it was only 45 degrees for the HIGH. Hello, this is waaaay to cold for me. It was actually snowing in Orlando earlier this afternoon. Therefor I decided to make a delicious cold weather meal. Went through a list..clam chowder, chili, chicken noodle soup etc. But it was suggested to me that BNS might be the ticket. I said what the heck why not...well let me tell you why not. Hard to cut, peel and chop. OMG wish my publix grocery store sold precut BNS, but NOOOOO.
I am in the simmering stage now. Eventually I will have to use my immersion blender to make smooth and creamy. (This could to lead to a huge mess throughout my kitchen. We shall see.)
So the soup and toasted bread slices with gruyere cheese is done. My oh My!!
A bit sweet and creamy and a pinch of spice. ( I added about 1/4 c cream and pinch of cayenne pepper). I immersion blended like there was no tomorrow ( and very little mess..surprise..surprise.) Really tasty and creamy. Who knew. This is a very nice, comforting and tasty cold weather meal. Other than having to cut and peel the damn squash the rest was just cooking 101. Of course thats about all I can ever handle anyway. :)
Don't think for a moment that just because the immersion blending went well that there is no mess in my kitchen. In true messy chef fashion, I have BNS peelings everywhere. I don't understand. I peel over the garbage can and yet the peels just seem to fly all over. Guess you just can't fight messiness.
New year res...Try more new and different recipies and let the mess fall where it may.
Best messes to all
