yummie autumn soup

[devohoneybee]

Chop large onion and sautee with a bit of salt until glassy.
Add chopped butternut squash, carrots, a parsnip, and apples.   Amounts are sort of...  improvisational.
Season with a hunk of fresh ginger, some cayenne, and some cinnamon.
Add water and boil until everything is soft.

Let cool, remove the ginger, then puree in a blender with milk.

MMMM, good.

Are we talking a splash of milk or a glug of milk?

[devohoneybee]

well the whole thing really depends on preferences -- how much liquid you have, how thick you like the soup, etc. why not start with a splash, and add more if what remains is too thick?

more typically a soup like this would be made with cream, but this is a lighter version. if you like it thicker and creamier but don't want all the fat, you can also use an unsweetened yoghurt. :)
