What do to with the left over baked acorn squash? Wonder no longer. This soup recipe is great for the left overs. It is rather rich so you will want to have something to go with it! It also can be made in a vegetarian style by making it with veggi both instead of chicken broth.
INGREDIENTS
1 small onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
dash cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
3 cups mashed cooked acorn squash
salt and pepper to taste
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and celery in butter. Stir in flour, bouillon, dill, curry and cayenne until blended. Gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the squash, salt and pepper; heat through.
In a blender, process the soup in batches until smooth. Pour into bowls; garnish with bacon. Makes approximately six servings.
