It’s comfort soup in an even comfier bowl.
Somehow it is mid October and how that happened is beyond me. Life is a busy, awesome blur. A blur that has me stressing, happy, excited and tired all at the same time. It’s a good thing, and I am so not complaining, well actually I am complaining that is already mid October, but it really does seem that the older I get the faster time flies.
Most of the leaves have turned and fallen here, it is freezing the minute the sun goes behind the mountains around five-thirty and we have already seen our fair share of snow for the season. The first of the many resorts around here, A-Basin, opened yesterday.
I am so not ready for ready for the Colorado mountain winter to begin. I am trying to savor these last warmish days before the snow blankets the ground, but I better suck it up, winter is coming and I have a feeling it is going to be a very snowy year.
Some people are saying the wet summer means a heavy snow year. I am excited and scared at the same time. Excited for all the days leading up to December twenty-fifth or maybe even January first.
But scared the snow will last and last. That snow in April thing? Yeah, not really into that.
But it’s October, so let’s talk soup.
Mid October just means SOUP! Lots and lots of soup! At least that’s how it goes around here. Or at least that is how I am hoping it is going to go around here.
Most years it’s just chili. I mean chili NEVER fails. It is always good, always hot, always hearty and just plain awesome, but this year I am determined to throw in a few odd balls. Odd balls like curry, squash and goat cheese (!!!). Trust me, my family was looking at me like I was crazy. Especially about the curry part, they think they are not curry people, but I have proven them wrong a total of one, two, three and four times. Oh and now five. Yes!
This one was kind of a given though.
I combined everyone’s beloved broccoli cheddar soup with some spiced up curry and goat cheese. So basically, there was nothing for them not like. It’s a giant bowl of creamy butternut squash, with broccoli and tons and tons of cheese. Plus more cheese on top, then poured into a bread bowl. Pure creamy comfort.
I am actually really wishing this was dinner tonight.
Lately I am in a constant state of being just plain freezing. See I have this problem. When it’s sunny with not a cloud in the sky I can’t take picture in my kitchen. There is just too much direct sunlight streaming in. I love the sun, but oh my gosh, I really wish it did not shine directly in basically every single window in our house. Whatever, long story short is that I have had to resort to taking pictures with the front door wide open. It just happens to be the only light I am liking these days. Such a pain and SO cold.
I have been shooting in my big down puffy coat. It’s a pretty funny sight and I get some pretty interesting looks from the rare person who occasionally walks by. It’s getting colder and colder by the day, I need a new solution.
So I am basically now always craving warmth.
And soup, but again, I am not complaining. I love both these things.
Especially when they involve warm curry, butternut squash, cheddar cheese and goat cheese. Doesn’t get a whole lot better or cozier than that.
This soup is a one pot deal, which is awesome and it requires very little work. The hardest part is pureeing the soup and that is only hard if you don’t have an immersion blender, which of course I don’t.
Well, I did but it just broke on me one day last year. Ugh.
Oh, and over in these parts, today is the perfect soup kind of day. It’s snowing. Again. And I love it!

I think all food bloggers need to set up some kind of service where we can taste test each other’s food. I would like to be paired up with you!
Haha! We SO need to do this! LOL!
Thanks so much, Meagan! That is such a compliment and i would LOVE to be paired up with you!
The perfect soup for those scrumptious bread bowls!
Thanks Laura! Soup in a bread bowl is so good!
I agree- mid-October is officially SOUP season. And I love goat cheese so much I’d eat it on an old shoe if I had to, but this curried (!!) squash soup is a WAY better option.
HA! Yeah, I would go with the soup! Thanks Ruthy! 🙂
I think this soup belongs in Better Homes and Gardens. Seriously.
And your bread bowls are so cute!
