October 16th!

Todays recipe is another fall soup to keep you warm...

Cream of Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

1 butternut squash about 1 lb.

3 tart green apples, peeled, cored and chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram

3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

3-1/2 cups water

2 slices white bread

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup heavy cream

chopped fresh parsley

Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. In a large saucepan combine all ingredients, except cream and parsley. Bring to a boil, simmer, uncovered for 45 minutes. Remove butternut squash and scoop out the pulp. Discard the peel and add the pulp to the soup. Puree with a blender until mixture is homogeneous and smooth (if you do not have a hand blender, you can do this in a regular blender in several batches). Return soup to saucepan and bring to a boil. Just before serving, stir in the cream. Serve hot and garnish each serving with chopped parsley.

I am not a person the ever buys scratch offs but I felt the need to have this one, It wasn't a winner I should have just left it all cute instead of scratching it off.

I love the art work of the ghost and pumpkins!

Log loot for today is some candy corn dots, a chocolate sucker with a spider on it (it was cheap chocolate and I loved it), a finger sucker with pop rocks stuff, some tape gum with Dracula on it, a coloring sheet and word search. A tasty day!
