Thanks for the information on this squash. I was give one from my daughter and did not know what kind it was but baked it and it was great. Will try the soup and save the seeds for next years garden and see how it will grow.

I grew these then didn't know what to do with them!! My son works at a restraunt in Sacramento that serves locally grown food. They used 5 of them to make pasta. Glad you had this recipet handy for me to try. Thanks.

Just attended the Dixon Community Seed Exchange (Embudo Valley, north central NM) and picked up some of these seeds. Then I went looking for, well, what they were – how large, mostly. Appreciate the information and the recipe. The talk of east coast farmers markets (the historic ones) triggered a twinge of melancholy, but you sure can't beat the sun here. Thanks again.

We just made the soup. Because I am allergic to garlic, we substituted a little extra shallots (will try some garlic chives next time). I also used 3 serrano peppers. We got the blue squash from our CSA, and were excited to find this recipe. It didn't dissapoint! I think next time, I might consider adding even more heat, to counter the very sweet combo of the coconut milk and squash.

Thank you again!

[...] decided to make soup with this squash, and I found a recipe on Messy and Picky's blog. Picky (the author of this particular post) neglected to mention [...]

Thanks for this post! I just acquired a queensland blue and was planning on making soup with it this weekend. I don't have any recipes that call for coconut milk, so this will be an adventure! I was thinking maybe putting roasted squash seeds on top instead of croutons…

Might I also recommend in lieu of a food processor the use of a stick / immersion blender? If you two don't already have one, it'll be the best $20-30 you'll ever spend and they don't take up much cabinet space. Lovely for smoothies, creamy soups, and sauces. Also, this recipe sounds really tasty.
