Attitude Adjustment, Courtesy of Roasted Acorn Squash and Potato Soup

After spending some solid time in Georgia, I always have a little trouble getting back into the swing of things when I get back to Texas. Mainly, I struggle to find the desire to cook for the family and myself. Yesterday, I had a meltdown about not wanting the responsibility of feeding them. I felt I needed a break and wanted them to feed me for once! I went on and on about how I would die of starvation if it were up to them to make dinner. It was a horrible pity party that I laughed about the next day. I realized that my precious little chickens and husband did not deserve my crappy attitude after being apart from them for so long. I knew just the right recipe to make things all better . . . my Roasted Acorn Squash and Potato Soup

And I am back to normal today!  I made olive tapenade, black bean hummus, toasted pita chips, Asian broccoli cauliflower salad, strawberry salad, and this delicious soup . . . all just because I wanted to.  And I haven’t even started dinner yet!  My vegan hubs is stocked for a few days and the kids will be stoked as well.

I love roasting my veggies for soup to add a more intense flavor. And yes, leave the squash skin on! If you don’t think you will enjoy a little bitter taste from the acorn squash skin, you can peel it before roasting.
