- This is a rich and hearty soup – great for a cold winter night.
- For the herbs, use one or a mixture of those suggested – basil, marjoram, thyme, or winter savory.
- Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of Spicy Toasted Squash Seeds.
- This made a very thick soup -- too thick for my taste. By the time I added enough water to get the consistency right, the volume had nearly doubled, but the flavor was still wonderful.
- Toasted squash seeds make a nice snack or a topping for soup or salad.
- Any variety of winter squash seeds can be used for this recipe. I chose butternut squash. One large butternut squash has about ½ cup seeds.
