Apparently it's been almost a month since my last post. This year is going by so quickly! So, what has 2FW been up to in the last 3.5 weeks? Well, first I was sick for about 5 days, which was no fun. I couldn't get out of bed, let alone get my bum into the kitchen to whip up something tasty. Then, we were searching for the perfect dog to add to our family. We adopted Salty on 10/30 - she's a super-sweet, 3-year-old poodle/terrier mix. After a crazy few weeks, I finally had a chance to do some much-needed cooking and baking.
This recipe started from a Cook's Illustrated recipe (my favorite cooking magazine). I liked the idea of steaming the squash over an impromptu squash broth. But the finished recipe lacked umami. I added a little of this and a little of that and a delicious, complex soup developed. I made the whole thing in a stock pot, but you can use a dutch oven, or start with a pot and move to a slow cooker.
