Happy 3rd Birthday to this Buttercup Squash Soup

Sometime in the past (I'm not exactly sure when, so it's safe to say that it's at least a year or more in the past), I received some frozen pureed pumpkin and squash from Steve and Rachel. Now, at last, it has become time to use them.

I found a bag of buttercup squash in my freezer and decided to make a soup with it. Now that it's feeling all fall-y outside, my mind turns to squash soups and roasted vegetables and crock pot pork shoulders, which, coincidentally, is what I happened to have for dinner the other night.

The soup is the only thing I took a picture of, though. And here it is in all it's glory, dressed up with some slivers of red bell pepper and a couple dollops of goat cheese.

I used the recipe here, and it was just about the simplest soup I've ever thrown together. Having a bag of pureed squash (instead of raw chunks) helped a lot.

So, thanks to Steve and Rachel for the squash, and thanks to the squash for a delicious soup.
