A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
1 medium buttercup, butternut, red kuri, or small baby blue hubbard squash (3-4 lbs. size), halved and seeded
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno chile seeded and finely minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger root
1 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 cup coconut milk
1 lime, juice of, or more as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
directions
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Place the squash skin-side up in a baking dish. Add 1 inch of water to the baking pan. Bake for about 1 hour, until the squash is completely tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly.
While the squash cools, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, jalapeno; curry, and ginger. Simmer until the spices are fragrant and the garlic just begins to color, about 5 minutes more. Do not let the spices scorch or they will become bitter. Remove from the heat.
Scoop the flesh from the squash skill. Combine half of the squash in a blender or food processor with half the spices and half the broth. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining squash, broth, and spices.
Add the coconut milk and lime juice to the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding salt, pepper, and lime juice as needed.
Reheat over medium heat until hot, stirring frequently. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro. Serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Absolutely delicious. Spices are perfect. Make sure to add some salt. My new favorite soup. Red kuri squash is the best squash I've ever had.
