The summer harvest is finally drawing to a close, but I continue to find myself with yet more tomatoes. And there sit the lovely butternuts, all 70 pounds or so of them. Why not combine the two for a creamy tomato-butternut combination? Add a handful of fresh sage and see what happens…delicious and creamy and so, so good.

A simple, delicious soup, using butternut to add a creamy consistency

This a wonderfully versatile soup – try any of the following:

  • Enjoy some warming herbs – with the onion and garlic, add an inch of freshly grated ginger or a touch of ground cinnamon, clove, nutmeg
  • Spice it up with some paprika, chili or curry powder

Ingredients – this recipe makes extra for freezing – decrease by half for a smaller batch

  • 6 Tbsp oil (olive, coconut, or ghee all work nicely)
  • 2 onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • Handful of fresh sage, crushed
  • Approximately 3 pounds of tomatoes
  • About 3 pounds of butternut squash (1 medium), peeled, halved, and seeded
  • 4 cups broth or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large stockpot on medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and sage, and cook until soft and fragrant (about 10 minutes).
  3. Add the tomatoes and squash and cook 5-10 minutes.
  4. Add the broth, bring everything to a simmer, and cook until the squash is tender (about 20 minutes).
  5. Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. (I prefer to let my soup cool and puree in batches in a regular blender.)
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Freeze half for later meals, enjoy half now!

Do you have a favorite tomato or butternut recipe?

This easy coconut oil granola recipe is delicious and good for you. I have always enjoyed granola, and knew that somehow it was supposed to be "good for me", but I never really understood all the reasons why, or how to make granola. Protein and fiber-rich nuts and oats combined with healthy coconut oils will keep you healthy and satisfied. Once you make your own granola, you will be reluctant to go back to store bought cereals again.

Mead, or honey wine, is an alcoholic beverage made using honey, water, and fermentation. Alcohol content? Yes, most definitely. What better act of radical homemaking than to make our own alcoholic beverage using only water, honey, and the wild yeasts around us? As the popularity of homemade honey wine increases, there are many supplies and fermentation kits available. But learning how to make mead is not complicated and you can enjoy homemade honey wine using only honey, water, and wild fermentation. I like to experiment with adding a variety of herbs for flavor, color, and other qualities. Let me show you the easy way of making herbal honey wine without a big investment in time or special supplies.
