It’s that time of year where CSA boxes everywhere are laden with butternut squashes. Grocery stores are overstocked with them and sale prices abound. I decided to do my own little twist on butternut squash soup to celebrate harvest time. As I rustled through my spices (dang, I need a massive overhaul on my spice organizing) I came across a jar of garam masala and the inspiration started flowing. The result was a truly flavorful play on butternut squash soup with just a hint of India. Such a flavorful way to enjoy those fall butternuts!
Okay, so, I want to make this soup but I don't have garam masala on hand or frankly know what it is or where to find it. What are some alternatives? Thanks:)
Garam masala is simply a spice mixture so you can definitely make it yourself. You can find a simplified recipe for it here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-garam-masala/
Butternut squash is really nutritious. It also helps the digestive system.
