Butternut squash is so beautiful. Butternut squash is so tasty. Butternut squash is so versatile.
Roasted. Sautéed. Soups. And in every other way you can imagine.
I started growing butternut squash in my garden about three or four years ago. Maybe five. Why did I wait so long? What was I thinking?
One of the go-to recipes for my family all winter long is courtesy of the legendary Emeril Lagasse and the Food Network.
It's the Smoked Sausage, Butternut Squash and Wild Rice Soup recipe that's an absolute knockout. It is absolutely amazing when I make it with my butternut squash from my garden.
The kids love it, too! I mean, how can you go wrong with sausage and wild rice and butternut squash from your garden?
I live in Virginia. Home of shirt-soaking hot and humid summers. Think sweat and mildew and disease in plants.
This past summer I tried these amazing seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They are South Anna Butternut Squash plants that are Downy Mildew resistant. They did fabulous and were still growing right up to the first hard frost that just happened overnight!
Find the seeds here!
And find the soup recipe here!
Finally, enjoy!
