Earlier this week my friend Jessie of
The Hungry Mouse posted about a
Creamy Butternut Squash soup. I immediately knew I would be making it. It looked great! I loved that she roasted the squash, veggies and sage to give it that awesome flavor. I also happened to have a box of Progresso chicken broth that had been sent to me by one of my
sponsors and I was wanting to put it to use. What better way than to make some creamy delicious soup? Besides, I felt I needed some pampering. I was in pain from my fall and wanted comfort.
The soup was delicious! Grumpy cleaned his bowl right up. The only thing that would have made the meal any better would have been if I had it in me to make one of Jessie's
rib recipes to go with. Jessie is great at making meals with meat (where I am
not!) Grumpy would probably prefer to eat at her home every night! I was serving this with no meat and I heard "I would like some meat to go with that". lol. I wanted to throw a hotdog at him and tell him to have at it. he he. But I didn't. I know, I'm such a saint ;) Instead I seared him some minute steaks with a little of the
amazing taste seasoning to keep him quiet.
After all, he did spend a good hour and half outside snow blowing the driveway....guess he deserved some meat with his soup.

Love the soup! But I have something more important to attend to..do you live near Alfred University and Alfred State???
ReplyDeleteBecause the only Almond,NY I know of is near that..if so I live in Bath, NY...WOW we are so close! I thought no one else in Western, NY had taste buds I am so glad I was wrong!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
We have a lot of snow coming!

Looks yummy! I hope your arm is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteLMAO it must be a guy thing. My hubby says the same thing when I try to make a meatless meal. Its like they start twitching if something hadnt died to feed them :}
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks pretty I am not a squash kinda girl so I will believe you when you say it was good!!
It does look good. I always fall back on a curried butternut squash soup -- a family favorite. But, this looks good, particularly with all the vegetable roasting goin' on.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your soup turned out so well. You deserved some comfort! Hope you're doing better.
ReplyDeleteLove a good, creamy butternut squash soup. Hope you're feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteSoup looks great - aw go on, he deserves a little meat after blowing snow!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better! soup is always comforting and nutritious. Hurley is the same way when It comes to meat. A meal must have some kind of meat lol
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm so glad you liked it! Hope you're feeling better!

Absolutely no doubt this soup would hit the spot on such a cold and blustery day HoneyB.
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks wonderful! I have a couple of butternuts...maybe I'll make this soup tomorrow night. But if Grouchy asks for meat, I WILL throw a hot dog @ him. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI am for sure baking the eggnog thumbprints you posted today. If I don't bake anything at all this season (& I haven't yet!) it'll be those.
Sorry about your fall. How is your arm now?
Butternut Squash soup is one of my favorites!! I am going to make this over my break!
ReplyDeleteHave a very merry christmas!!! :)
We love butternut squash soup in our house! This looks so yummy. I'm in that club too-I don't cook meat so good either.
ReplyDeleteButternut squash is my favorite. Yours looks perfect!!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never tried Butternut Squash Soup? After recently discovering a yummy acorn squash-apple cider fondue recipe submitted by one of my InnSiders, I've begun reconsidering all things squash---soup is definitely on the list of squash recipes to try!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks wonderful! We are getting a snowstorm today, and it looks like a soup day to me!
ReplyDeleteAnd he'll be outside again today snowblowing the driveway. Stinkin' storms!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever try making butternut squash bread? I told my older kids it was pumpkin bread, because they won't eat something named "squash", and 2 of the boys demolished it in about 2 hours. Butternut squash is such a wonderful ingredient!
That looks so good. I have never made that soup but want to....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wife you are Shelby. The soup looks tasty and I am sure a steak sandwich on the side was terrific too.
ReplyDeleteI adore butternut squash soup! This recipe looks great, I'll have to give it a try soon!
ReplyDeleteawww, hope you are better soon!
ReplyDeleteIf I was closer I would bring some of my Wild rice and chicken soup to you....the meat is built in!!! lol
awww, hope you are better soon!

This looks wonderful HoneyB! How's your arm feeling?? Did you have to go to the Doctor??
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I love the color!
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum! I love pumpkin soup, it reminds me of being at home with my Mum :)
ReplyDeleteWell, by golly! I've just earned you as a follower and I am TICKLED! Mostly because....YUMMMMMarooni. You're blog rocks my socks off. You and I should be suga sisters and bake into the late eves every night!
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled to have you along and can't wait to try out your goodies!

ReplyDeleteBTW, for those watching their carbs/diabetics, butterCup squash soup is also good.
