	Squash Soup 01

		Dilled Squash Soup 2 large acorn squashes, 4 lbs (2kg) 8 apples peeled, cored and quartered, 2 1/2 lbs (1.25 kg) 2 large onions, chopped 4 cups broth 1 tbsp dried dill seed or 2 tsp dried dill weed 1/2 tsp dried leaf thyme 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups water or milk To make the squash easier to peel, place 1 squash in the microwave and cook on high for 2 min. Repeat with second squash. Slice in half and remove seeds. Slice off peel. [if you feel more comfortable, make squash in your usual method] Cut into large cubes. In large saucepan, combine squash cubes and remaining ingredients except for the milk. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered and stirring occaisionally until the squash is very tender, about 35 minutes. Puree in several batches in a blender or food processor. If making ahead, pour puree into containers or self-sealing storage bags and refridgerate up to 3 days or freeze. Do not add milk. If serving right away, however, return to saucepan. Then, stir in milk, adding additional water until as thin as desired. Heat, stirring often over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling. Keeps in freezer one year. To Reheat: Place a little water in bottom of saucepan just wide enough to hold frozen soup. Add soup. Cover and reheat slowly. Stir often. When piping hot, stir in milk or water until as thin as desired.
