Autumn is here and this soup is warming me up from the inside.

Easy squash soup recipe:
1 squash, any kind (I used butternut)
1/2-1 onion
3-5 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 can coconut milk

Roast the squash whole until soft(about 45 minutes to an hour)
Remove seeds(skins can be added or removed)
Sauté onions and garlic and I like to toast the curry at the end
Add all ingredients to a blender until smooth.
Voila!

Note: I had a small squash so I roasted a sweet potato and added it as well.

This is poison hemlock. Do not eat it!
If you do not know how to tell the difference between poison hemlock and Queen Anne’s lace(wild carrot, Daucus carota), do not harvest!
This picture is from my walk yesterday.
Both plants are biennial(two year life cycle), which means you can find them both in this stage, this time of year.
Carrot tops are delicious, hemlock is deadly!
