Once again, the farm box brings the joy, this time in the form of butternut squash soup with melted leeks. Kasha's barn-living knowledge yielded a little genius from the start - did you know that you can roast your butternut squash in a little pool of water and it won't ruin your baking dish? winner. The leeks were curvy on the inside and then sliced up into lovely little half-circles.
Melting leeks is kind of a challenging process, especially if you don't know what you're going for before you start. We ended up with curly leek crackers, essentially. But they were really fun to play with. Add in a little pecorino romano, a mixture of all of the mustards left in the fridge, and some meyer lemon, and your squash water becomes a creamy delicious soup. Just the comfort for a crappy day at work or on the couch. For reals.
