Introduction

I adapted this from a recepe for fasolatha found on allrecepes.com to be more like butternut squash bisque which I had at the elephant's delecatessin in Portrland Oregon. It's a reaaly great soup for those cold autumn days and a great tasting way to get some squash into your families diet.

Ingredients

    2 cups white kidney, navy or great northern beans
    1 butternut squash or canned pumpkin
    1 onion thinly sliced
    1 stalk celery, chopped
    2 small carrots, sliced
    2 cups diced tomatoes
    1 cup tomato sauce
    2 tsp dried oregano
    2 tsp dried thyme
    1/2 cup olive oil
    3 cups water or chicken broth
    4 T parsley
    salt to taste
    pepper to taste
    chicken bouillon to taste

Directions

1)rinse beans. place in large stock pot with water, boil for 3 minutes let stand one hour then drain. OR use canned beans only use 4 cups, skipping this step.
2) while the beans are soaking rinse the squash (if using fresh rather than canned) slice lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds (--you can bake the seeds separately just like pumpkin seeds for a tasty snack if desired) place upside down on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. let it cool for awhile then scoop out the squash pulp to add to the soup. discard or compost the skin.
3)cover the beans wirth 3 cups water and boil. add veggies, spices and olive oil. cover simmer on med-low for 50-60 minutes or use a pressure cooker for 3 to 4 minutes at 15 lbs pressure.
4) taste and adjust spices to your liking as needed. I like to mash some of the beans. if too thick for you just thin with more water or broth.
5) serve with a nice crusty whole wheat garlic bread or a toasted ham and cheese sandwich--yum!
about 10 (1 1/2 - 2 cup) servings
