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.

This looks gorgeous. I picked up some supernice butternut squashes at Fair Food right before Christmas, and I think this big blue boy is my next victim. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

@ Mark: Fair Food Farmstand is in the Reading Terminal Market, across from Metropolitan Bakery.

Oh! We made a butternut squash soup the other night and it was the best! This recipe looks fantastic, though. Where's the Fair Food Farmstand exactly?
