soup night

Tonight I made kale and chorizo soup for dinner. It was very simple - just carrot, celery, chorizo, kale, chicken stock, water, a splash of sherry vinegar and a couple of bay leaves. It has to cook for about an hour to make the kale tender, but it's totally worth the wait.

I roasted up some kabocha squash tonight as well. The sweetness of the squash actually went really well with the soup.

  1. I never eat squash but I bought an acorn squash this past weekend. I'm going to roast it and fill it with forbidden rice.

  2. Forbidden Rice sounds so...naughty!

    Acorn squash is too sweet for me. I like kabocha because it's not super-sweet. At least, the ones I've been getting haven't been. I've read that the longer they're allowed to age, the sweeter they get. Maybe I've just been getting immature ones.
