This spring I got some ripe compost from Paul and Reesha. After a few weeks I noticed some plants I didn't remember planting growing. It took me a while to realize that it was growing out of the compost that was mixed in. Two squashes grew. I covered them with knee high panty hose. This kept the squash bugs out. One made it, one went to the bugs. This one grew on the fence so it was a bit out of the bugs range, but I did have to chase a few out of the covering every once and a while. It was worth getting a healthy butternut squash to share with my friends.
I wanted to make Butternut Squash soup, so I had to cut it.
Seed it, and bake it.
I baked it for an hour on 400 degrees.
The next steps weren't too glamorous. But I scooped out the insides, put them into my Ninja Prep Master and added a cup and a half of Veggie Stock. Some garlic powder, salt, pepper and ginger.
I then invited Paul and Reesha over to enjoy the veggies of their compost. I added a piece of basil from the backyard. Yum!
