Now, if you are not - yet - a winter squash person I am sure that today's event will change your mind. Seriously, the line-up is incredible. There are breads, soups, stews, sandwiches, sides, salads, desserts...amazing.
Today I bring you a soup - this soup is not just a soup, but an entire meal. It was a big hit in this house, and not just because of the crispy tortilla and avocado topping...
Roasted Buttercup Squash & Black Bean Soup
- 2 Tb Olive Oil {or a little more}
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 lb bulk sage sausage
- 2-1/2 C Buttercup Squash
- 2 Tb Chili Powder
- 1 dried whole cayenne pepper
- 2-1/2 C black beans soaked overnight, or quick soaked {you can also used canned beans}

- 2 Tsp. Maple Syrup
- Salt to taste
- 8 corn tortillas cut into strips and fried to a crisp in some oil {Topping}
- 1 avocado sliced {Topping}
*** Preheat oven to 350F
- In a large dutch oven heat the olive oil and when hot add onions together with the garlic. Be careful that they do not brown.
- Sautee until they get soft, then add the sage sausage. Stir carefully and cook until sausage it cooked through.
- Add the squash together with the chili power and sautee for a couple of minutes until the the squash is coated with the chili powder.
- Add beans and water. Stir everything up. Bring to a simmer on the stove, add the dried whole cayenne pepper then cover and transfer pot to the oven.
- Check after 60 minutes and add more water if necessary. Cover and leave in oven for at least another 30 minutes.
- When the beans are soft, remove from the oven and immediately add Cider Vinegar as well as Maple Syrup. Carefully stir it into the soup.
