Would you look at that! While trying, and failing, to start this post about squash soup, I accidentally ate an entire chocolate chip cookie dough ball from the Delancey walk-in!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get right to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been wanting to tell you about this soup for more than a week now, but a certain crazy-haired<\/a>\u00a0dancing maniac<\/a> of a young person is getting a molar, or something, and has been waking up veeeerrrrrry early\u00a0and then spending a large portion of the day crawl-running around the house\/park\/bathtub\/Delancey, panting, grunting, and generally looking and acting a lot like Animal<\/a>. After she goes to bed, I make myself\u00a0a drink<\/a>, warm up some soup, open a book, close the book, and sleep like a dead person.<\/p>\n

But the soup! Right. A number of years ago, through this site, I got to know someone named Lisa. \u00a0She began as a reader and occasional commenter, and because she\u2019s a very, very good writer<\/a>, her comments always stood out. Over time, I started to feel like I knew her, and I hope the feeling is mutual. \u00a0We\u2019ve never met in person, but we\u2019ve kept in touch in various ways, and she now has her own site, which is where, a couple of weeks ago, I found this recipe<\/a> for a winter squash soup with curry and coconut milk. I\u2019m sure you already have a standby winter squash soup – I already had two – but this one grabbed me right away: not only does it involve squash, curry, and coconut milk, but it also calls for maple syrup, fish sauce, Sriracha, and lime.<\/p>\n

!<\/p>\n

I now have three standby winter squash soups.<\/p>\n

Of course, the best part – at least in this particular stage of my life – is that I can prep it quickly, bang it all in a pot, cover it, and let it ride alone for half an hour while I recover from parenting Animal. And it only improves over subsequent meals, as soups do.<\/p>\n

Happy weekend.<\/p>\n\n
