After our Halloween party weekend, I think Justin and I were both ready to just lay low. We spent the weekend cleaning up after the party, working out, and cuddling/watching scary movies. The highlight, though, was the ingenious idea to make pumpkin soup out of the pumpkins we still had from Halloween. It was INCREDIBLE:
First we cut open the pumpkin. We diced it up and boiled it along with some butternut squash, onion, sweet potato, and ginger.
Then, you take that concoction once it's all boiled and soft and you throw in just a TINY, TINY bit of butter (not even a stick) and a little bit of chicken broth and water to puree everything together. At this point you can also add a few spices... some white pepper perhaps, maybe some more ginger. You really don't need much though as the squash flavors don't need much seasoning.
And VOILA. Amazing pumpkin soup. It was SO good... and not to mention, so healthy for you. It tasted so creamy like it was supposed to have LOADS of fat but it really had hardly any at all. And just a tip, you definitely don't need as big of a pumpkin as we used... we had enough pumpkin soup to feed the whole city of Seattle, I'm pretty sure. Luckily, we had pretty big appetites since we DESTROYED our legs with a killer leg workout...
