INSTRUCTIONS
Faced with the need for a fast dinner , I whipped up the following and
frankly, it turned out to be a "eat more than it's good for you" soup, the
kind you can't leave alone until the pot is empty.... here goes:
1. Toss the cooked and skinned squash in a food processor and puree until
the whole thang is a smooth mass.
2. Add both cans of the condensed milk and re-puree to blend. RESERVE a
couple of tablespoons of the condensed milk for a decorative swirl in the
bowl just before you serve!
3. Toss the whole mess in a large saucepan or soup pot and begin to gently
heat through. Add the regular milk and blend in well. Add spices to taste,
go easy on the nutmeg until it is really heated thru, or you'll use way too
much! Jim's powder is the main spice for this feast......
4. Ladle into the bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, peanuts, and
a swirl of the condensed milk.
5. Enjoy! This is really nice with any savory bread, I was thinking a nice
cheddar cheese-jalapeno bread....
This is also nice with a dollop of chipotles in adobado plopped in.... and,
I imagine, with bacon, tho that's just a dream for a vegetarian like me...
