It's a strong enough spice that if you don't like it, it can taint the whole meal...<BR/><BR/>Or is he just averse to squash?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1163369578002860852006-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:002006-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:00Sorry, Zoey, I am with hubby on the squash.

One fall day I peeled, diced, sauteed, and simmered a ton of veggies for a lovely homemade vegetable soup. It was good, tasted just like Campbell's. Ummm, do you see where I'm going with this? <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work because we love your great blog entries!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1163356249143457052006-11-12T13:30:00.000-05:002006-11-12T13:30:00.000-05:00My guys don't care for squash either.

I make a savory roasted squash soup with sauteed onions and garlic and since H doesn't care for cream soups, I thicken it with a couple of small potatoes, diced and simmered with the squash til tender then "cream" the whole thing with the immersion blender. Top with finely diced red pepper, green onions or chives. And, like you, I have moved the frozen chives upstairs!

I split them in half, take out the seeds and bake them at 375 for about an hour and a half. They would cook faster if I did it your way, but I couldn't fit them in the oven cut into smaller pieces. (We usually need 3 big ones, 11 or 12 pounds worth.) After they are done, I remove the peels and mash them with more butter than is seemly (two sticks). It is easier to remove the peels after they're baked, but I have peeled them raw with a carrot peeler. Tedious work. You're right, the more the squash caramelizes the better it is.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1163344719323520142006-11-12T10:18:00.000-05:002006-11-12T10:18:00.000-05:00My favorite squash!
