This afternoon I had a sudden craving for Butternut Squash Soup. I browsed some recipes online, but nothing really struck out on me. Instead I decided to build my own recipe.
The whole process started innocently enough…
I chopped some veggies
- 1/2 a medium butternut squash
- 1/2 a white onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 apple
- garlic
Threw the veggies in a pot.
Added
- 4 sun dried tomato halves
- 2 cans of vegetable broth
- palmful of curry
- palmful of garlic salt
- palmful of red pepper flakes
- Salt & Pepper
Finally I let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the squash and apples were soft. 
I was so proud of my soup making skills at this point.
That is until…. SOUP EXPLOSION!
*Mental Note* always remember the lid is screwed on tight before pressing the start button!
As soon as I hit blend the soup went EVERYWHERE. It was on the walls, on the floor, and all over me.
Too bad no one was around to video tape the whole explosion. I think the best part was the fact I had my camera in my hands when the explosion happened. Before I even stopped the blender I brought my camera to safety to make sure it was still working. 
Maddie didn’t mind helping with the clean efforts.
Unfortunately the soup was still very hot when it landed on me and my arms and hands are now a little read 
Ouch.
Despite the mishap my Butternut Squash, Sun Dried Tomato, & Apple Soup was still delicious and delectable.
Soup toppings included pumpkin seeds and a dollop of goat cheese
I think the addition of the sun dried tomato was the key ingredient to this soup. It was very flavorful and a little spicy. I loved it!
With the soup I had a piece of toast with a smidge of butter.
My hand still hurt after dinner, thankfully my last Halloween cupcake made it all feel better.
Yum!
This afternoon I snacked on a mini bag of TJ’s Trail Mix at work.
Now if you will excuse me I need to bleach my kitchen floors and try to figure out how to get soup stain off of my walls. Any suggestions?
Good Night!
