Note: Try varying the fruit. Grapes and pineapple are good

additions. Also try adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme with the

blueberries. This makes the popsicle a very refreshing treat after

working out, or a nice finish to a heavy meal. You can also add 1 1/2

cups of spinach before the blueberries. However, you may need to

increase the banana to a whole banana or add a slice of pineapple

to keep the treat sweet.

3-4 cups broth, chicken orvegetable broth

1 cup onion, chopped

1/2-1 cup celery, chopped

1 small acorn or 1/2 largebutternut squash, cooked,

peeled and seeded

salt and pepper to taste


2. seet Vaabe 1.


4. Bend o 6 nute o unt the ou ng hot.

Variations:Add 1/2 pound of cooked breakfast sausage before

blending for a rich, meaty soup. Or try adding 1 1/2 cups of

mushrooms before blending for a deep earthy flavor. When adding

the mushrooms, also add a teaspoon or two of turmeric to keep the

color more palatable.

For an elegant finish, try soup with this syrup:

1. Reduce a couple of cups of apple cider down by 3/4 overedu to hgh heat. The de houd beoe a thk yu.

2. pou the ou nto a haow ou bow.3. In the center of the soup place a dollop of Labne (a thick, tart

yogut ead that an be ound n ot goee o an beade o tanng yogut though a heee oth/bag o acoee lter placed in the bottom of a colander for a couple ofhours). You can also use sour cream, plain Greek yogurt, orea heee.

4. Dzze the yu ove the ou and labne akng age e.

Note:This is a great soup for when the days grow shorter and thenights are cooler. It is full of rich flavors that warm the body and lift

the spirit. Every spoonful is a different flavor of sweet or savory. Be

very careful with this soup. We served it many years ago at a New

Year's Eve party and have had to host the party every year since.
