So I am trying something new out with the pup this am. He's not allowed to get on the couch. So far, so good. They are both actually asleep on the dog bed in the corner. How precious. Rogue was a monster last night. The definition of Rogue is a playful, mischievous person, scamp. Well looks like we chose the perfect name for him. Or did we set him up?!
I made this soup yesterday for lunch in the midst of raining falling outside and the darkness of fall setting it. It seemed necessary. It turned out delicious!
Acorn Squash Soup
1 acorn squash, skinned and diced
1/2 sweet potato, skinned and diced
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 apple, chopped
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nutmeg
2 tbsp coconut oil
4 strips of bacon , cooked and chopped (for garnish)
In a soup pot saute chopped squash, sweet potato, onion and apple for around 10 minutes in the coconut oil. Add spices, coconut milk and chicken broth. stir until everything is well incorporated. Cover and cook on low-medium heat for about 25 minutes. Once everything is soft enough to stick a fork through. Get out your blender, or puree thing (I don't have one, I need one) and put soup veggies into the blender until creamy. Do this until you have blended ALL the chunks out. Put back into soup pot and scoop yourself a nice little serving. Top with chopped bacon.
Best when eaten snuggled up in a blankey watching a scary movie :)
