I am thoroughly disappointed with my cooking capabilities, at least with my most recent venture. Since the cool, crisp whether is upon us I've decided that it is officially soup season. I have been blabbering for weeks about making butternut squash soup and this weekend I took a stab at it. I found a simple recipe that gave me the impression that the soup would turn out more sweet than savory, which is exactly what I was looking for.... Let me just say that I have made quite a few things that never made it into "Holly's Official Recipe Box," but the butternut squash soup that I produced Saturday night was nearly appalling. I don't know where I went wrong. Let me retract that, I don't think I went wrong, I think I fell victim to a crappy recipe! I spent a little time doctoring it up last night with some cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg but the initial taste is still off and the aftertaste is bitter. I am scouring the internet to try and find a lifeline for my pitifully disgusting soup. Does anyone have any suggestion?? Should I have roasted my squash before pureeing? Cream cheese, white wine? Maybe I should just leave this one to the cooking experts :(

Maybe it is the squash and not the recipe? I've definitely bought bad butternut before and it sounds like you might just have gotten unlucky.
I also usually cook my squash in the oven (cut in half, place in cooking pan with 1 in water at 350 for 45-55 minutes). :)
The purse I bought on Etsy is so cute dude. I'll be wearing it forever so when I see you next I'll show it to you. :)
