| Making Squash Soup
I love to make this every year around this time. A lot of varieties
of squash are in their peak season. Plus it's just a hearty, filling
soup for the colder weather. It's also very cheap and very easy to
make. This general method can be applied to virtually any variety
of squash, including butternut, acorn, and even pumpkins. Today I
happen to be using white acorn squash. One acorn squash will
yield about one large serving of soup, while butternut squash
generally yield about two. | | 1 |  | Assassin

Take the squash out of the oven and check doneness with a fork. The flesh
should be extremely soft. | | 8 |  | Florence and the Machine
Ceremonials
Allow the squash to cool for about thirty minutes. If the oven got really
smoky during baking, leave them to cool with the stove fan on high. | | 9 |  | Young and in the Way

Blend thoroughly in cycles, stirring the pulp as necessary and adding heavy

Stir in some brown sugar and adjust the seasonings used earlier to taste.
For a spicier soup, add some chili powder and more cayenne pepper or
even red curry paste. | | 13 |  | Eloy

Serve the hot soup garnished with thinly sliced chives or scallions and sour
cream. | |

I'm drinking young's double chocolate stout and Rolling Rock tonight. Do you approve? | AngelofDeath
10.30.11 | Well, the stout is excellent. Rolling Rock, not so much. | FrankRedHot
10.30.11 | Almost soinds like borscht, but better.
Making lobster bisque right now to impress a lady friend tonight. Any tips on garnish or accompaniments, Angel? I'm already using white truffle oil. | AngelofDeath
10.30.11 | I'd suggest leaning the meat of a whole lobster claw against a quenelle of either sour cream or seasoned (but not sweetened) whipped cream. Maybe lean a short chive stalk against it too, for a little more color. | FrankRedHot
10.30.11 | Yeah, I already got the lobster claw meat thing going. I didn't think about the cream, though. You don't think that's overkill? | AngelofDeath
10.30.11 | Nah, not really. If you choose to go the whipped route, just add some salt, white pepper, and lemon juice to balance the richness. | Hyperion1001
