Several days ago Shorty made this wonderful squash soup with cornmeal dumplings on top. I really felt it was more of a stew than a soup. It was hearty and full of lots of chunky veggies. Drool! Anyway, the leftovers found their way into the fridge and, sadly, we kept overlooking them. Tonight we decided we had to correct this oversight, but neither of us really wanted it again. Then he announced that he was going to throw it in the blender and make a creamy soup. Blender? Creamy soup? Bring it on! I love it when he gets all creative and decides to play. So I let him do his thing and was surprised at the result.
I came into the kitchen to find that not only was the soup now thick and creamy with just the right amount of chunkiness, but he had also fried up some spicy Italian sausage and warmed up some ready made dinner rolls (hey, sometimes you've got to bring a little of that semi-homemade in when you don't have a lot of time.) We filled our bowls, mixed in the sausage, and dug in. Let me just say..... Yum! Shorty added a hint of rosemary to the soup and it was perfect. This was one time when a good dish was better as a leftover. Sadly, we're still new to the food blog world and our bowls were empty before we remembered photos. :o(
Yum.
