Its official we passed the autumn solstice on Sept. 21 and we are starting to lose more daylight each day now. As the days grow shorter, fewer tomatoes are coming in from the field but there is plenty of winter .,,.J.,.:‘ .2. -/y K», '/ 95] ISAMILGHEVLA‘NE IN, SHElTllll Winter squash, while na- tive to the Americas, is now grown in much of the world and there are hundreds of varieties cultivated from Asia, Africa and Eu- rope. They are named winter squash, even though they are harvested in the fall, because they will hold up to storage and last through the dark, cold days of winter. They are the per- fect cool-weather vegetable as their bright orange flesh adds abit of color to any dish long after the hot weather crops of summer are out of season. Fall weather is the perfect time for transitioning to wonderful hearty and warming soups. I typically don’t make many soups in the summer but find myself craving their warmth as soon as the leaves start turning and falling. My favorite fall soup is a squash soup that is both delicious and easy. flPEN MONDAY-FRIDAY. 7AM-4PM We \mnl in say K YOU lo (lie mmmunily 32w all your supporl‘. \l’e'r‘c Heirll‘n‘ You and mu assure you llml we will lnclollouing all CDC guidelines lbi' (ONO lg).

Cool and scoop flesh from skin. While the squash is roast- ing, sauté the onion in a heavy stock pot with olive oil until the onion is trans- lucent. Add the ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add the roasted squash to the pot and add enough water to make a thick sauce. The amount of water will vary depending on the size of your squash. Add the coconut milk and curry powder and'salt and bring , the soup to a low simmer making sure it doesn’t boil. I Simmer the soup for 10 minutes to let the flavors mix. I like roasting the squash first because I find I don’t need to puree the soup; however, if you like a smoother soup you can pu- ree with an immersion blender. Serve with lime and sour cream garnish. You can, choose any variety of 'winter squash to make this soup. Try your favorite. You can also vary it with spices such as pumpkin spice and garnish it with chopped spiced pecans, or thyme and rosemary with bacon. The options are endless with squash soup it is the perfect carrier for all your favorite spice combina- tions. The Shelton Farmers Market has extended its season through the end of October. Thank you to the City of Shelton for helping us safely navi- gate this strange pandemic season ' and to all of our customers for your continued support?
