Honeynut Squash Soup

(48)
"I seriously love my @instagram community. It's even more special when these connections turn into real life gatherings and friendships. After a very leisurely stroll through @unsqgreenmarket with @husbandsthatcook @mangelka @foodbymars @foodieinnewyork @blackwhitevivid @historiasdelciervo, and a quick hug from @mississippivegan, a few of us went to the home of @feedtheswimmers and this #Delicata #Honeynut Soup and Rainbow #Salad kind of just came together while Skyping with @thejamlab ?? This super late lunch was followed by a gathering with @thefeedfeed catching up with where I had the pleasure of meeting @ladyandpups and @hellomydumpling whose feeds I adore! ? Snippets of yesterday's busy day can be found in my Stories along with a special #RoofToTable dinner with @icraveny at @gothamgreens ?? Phew! What a day! Is it the weekend yet?! ?"

Ingredients:
2-3 friends to shop, cook, and eat with
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 shallots, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
2 delicata squash, seeds removed and chopped
2 honeynut squash, seeds removed and chopped
2 medium-sized carrots, chopped
Handful of fresh thyme
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
Water
Pinch of sea salt

Directions:
Go to the greenmarket with friends, and find in-season foods that inspire you

Bring everything home and settle in for fun conversation and a bit of chopping

Eventually, start cooking... In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil on a medium high heat. Add the onion, shallots, and garlic and saute for 5 minutes until softened.

Add the chopped winter squashes and carrots and let this pan-roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Pour in the coconut milk, and a tin full of water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Ladle into bowls, garnish as you like, and enjoy!!
