Delicata Soup

 

Ingredients

  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until onion is softened but not brown.
  3. Scrape the squash out of the flesh and add to onions. Add the stock and heavy cream. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  4. Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve

Growing In The Garden

What a surprise to find this oblong squash growing on the vine when the plant label said pumpkin. At the end of the early summer season this is a great choice for raised bed gardening.  I suggest training the delicata squash plant to climb a trellis to add interest to the garden.
