Amazon Bean Soup with Winter Squash & Greens

From EatingWell: February/March 2006 — Subscribe Now!

Shaped like a flattened drum, buttercup squash most closely resembles the local squash used in this comforting hearty soup from northern Brazil. It has a dark green peel, a grayish turban-shaped top and dense orange flesh. Hubbard, butternut or delicata squashes could also be used. Instead of the lip-numbing Brazilian green jambu, we have used spinach. For a more festive look, serve in a roasted squash half (see Tip).

Was a bit tedious to prep, but worth it. It's a very tasty soup! I used butternut squash because it's what I had. I also used black beans because I didn't have other beans on hand. The substitutions were just as good as the original recipe. Next time, I plan to use the squash called for and try the squash bowls, too! freeman-online	6 weeks 1 day ago
