Hubbard Squash Soup

"This recipe was developed over a series of small experiments. I wanted to do something different with a Hubbard Squash. After a few tries, I wrote down what tasted best, and am pretty happy with this delicious winter soup. I make a huge batch, then freeze in small zip lock bags for a quick lunch!"

  1. Just finished up my second bowl. The soup was excellent a taste sensation. My 16 year old son thought it was great as well. We generally critic the meal and determine if we will make it again and what enhancements are needed. I just need to cube the ham steak smaller. This will be a great winter meal.
     
  2. This was definitely an interesting soup that shows a lot of promise. I was looking for something to do with some hubbard squash that I had, and this looked like it fit the bill! I prepared the squash as I do a pumpkin, cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds and roasting it at 350 degrees face-down for an hour or so, then scooping out the cooked pulp. Rather than putting the ingredients in batches into a food processor, I added everything to a soup pot and used my stick blender to combine before adding the steamed broccoli and cubed ham. I have to say, I wish I had trusted my instincts, though, regarding the seasoning. The amount of nutmeg and cinnamon is way too much and overpowered everything. I had to keep adding salt, pepper, and hot sauce to counter-balance them. Had there been more restraint with those seasonings, I would have loved this soup. I gave it 3 stars, but my boyfriend thought it was deserving of 5 stars, so I average that out for this rating. Like I said, it shows a lot of promise, but needs the seasonings tweaked. Thanks for sharing.
