So Saturday night I made butternut squash soup with toasted coconut and cilantro. It was delicious.
I peeled and chopped my butternut squash (which Cappie ended up
loving, and is very nutritious for dogs) and my onion (which are actually poisonous to dogs, so don't feed your dogs onions) into big hunks and I roasted them together for about 45 minutes until they were fork tender.
Then when that was done I put it in a blender with a little water and pulsed the mixture until it was a smooth consistency. I put it in my pot with about 2 cups of good vegetable stock, a teaspoon of turmeric for color, a tablespoon of curry powder, some salt and pepper. When it came to a simmer I added a splash of cream. Just enough to give it a little smoothness.
For garnish, I put some regular grated coconut on a sheet pan and broiled it for about 3 minutes until it was a soft brown color. Sprinkle on top with a sprig of cilantro.

Carly,
I didn't know you liked to cook! This soup sounds divine!!! I will be checking back more often. Your site is lovely too!
Oh yes, yes! I love to cook. I prefer to cook rather than go out. The mess that follows, however, is an entirely different story! Ha! Thanks for the complements! I need to post again, but I have not done anything interesting lately!
