YUM! I made a spicy curried pumpkin/carrot soup last week with some of the Long Island Cheese pumpkin. And I'm roasting a butternut in the oven as I type. Gardening is the gift that keeps on giving all year round.
Ooooooh........just loving all the squash!!!! I'll have another go with the LIs this year too.......I LOVED the Rouge and the Gete - thank you! :-) PM me your address.......I have some seed for you! :-)
Thanks Vivi. We always look forward to your new videos. In our house we now say "is there a Vivi to watch?". You've become part of our entertainment routine of an evening!! 😁
Lovely recipe, Vivi. I wasn't too sure how well my pumpkins were doing so all the Naked Bear bitties were baked off and frozen as puree and the seeds lovingly stashed. That left me two huge Cinderella pumpkins. The smaller one canned down to 11 quart jars of cubes. They'll hold well for a few years now. The dilemma is the last pumpkin that is huge, huge. So far the flesh still feels good and there aren't any signs of rot. Next year I think I'd better not grow any pumpkins!
Yay, I hope they do really well for you.....main thing to remember is not to water the leaves and stems (they hate it!).....if you can sink an old pop bottle next to them to water into they'll be happy......and lots of manure/compost if you have it. Good luck....and happy scoffing when your gorgeous harvest comes. 😊
Vivi....I think you should consider creating a "Cookbook" with all those amazing vegetables you grow and delicious recipes you put on videos. Add some of the colored pencil drawings of veggies at each recipe.....and because us subscribers are so special to you, when we buy your cookbook, you can autograph it before you ship it to us!!!!!! :>)
I totally do too!!! I'm currently experimenting with another recipe using pearl barley as part of a stuffing for roast squash (or peppers)......so far, so good.....but needs a couple of tweaks before I film it and go public as it were. ;-)
Vivi, looks delish! My FAVORITE butternut soup...so far... is very simple too. Love the sweet, creamy butternut flavor! I roast the squash, cut in half, seeds scooped out, face down on parchment paper in the oven until done. Meantime, some leeks slowly sauteed and caramelized in butter and a good amount of thyme. Then, I scoop the squash out, add all ingredients to a large pot, add veg broth, some water and cook for 20 minutes. Then, just puree and eat... but i think i will try adding in the barley somewhere to incorporate, after blending. Mmmmm Thanks for another yummy recipe! Cann't wait for you to start planting your garden ♥️♥️♥️
Oooooooh, yum!!!!!! I'm feeling hungry again! ;-) Oh I am longing to get back to planting in the garden......and for some warmth and sunshine........it's gone really cold here again suddenly........but I know spring isn't far away.......I can dream until then. ;-)
After rewatching this again went to the store today $1.23 for 1 pound for Pearl Barley =) For 1 butternut squash $5.00 =( left the squash at the store crazy people. At home I have spinach, beets, red onion, zucchini and now barley. Found recipes on TH-cam for Buddha bowls with barley. Oh my Viva, excellent suggestion.
Luv it! I only managed to get 3 very small pumpkins last year. Needless to say, they were gobbled up fairly early on. I planted corn & pumpkins together w/o any beans to supply N to these monster plants so: lousy corn... very few pumpkins. Next year will be better. Giving up on corn. Our local farmers excel at it!
We live and learn! That's the beauty of growing your own.......there's always 'next year' to try things differently. Hope you get a bumper crop to enjoy scoffing this year. :-)
I've only just recently discovered the winter squashes for not sweet dishes. I had done pumpkin breads and pies in the past. I just this week dried some seeds from a large field pumpkin (chickens got the flesh of this one as it was going a bit too soft) and ground them up to add to the cats' and dog's food as a supplement. Lightbulb went off in my brain - sift it and use the finer bit for flour! We are low carbing so no wheat flour is in the house. It worked on the first thing I tried so I will be experimenting with it more this autumn after the next harvest. I've found I don't like eating the unhulled roasted seeds by themselves as a snack any more. But I just heard about the Naked Bear hull-less variety. So much to choose from and so little garden space!
Now I'm hungry for soup. The way I make it is to roast my olive-oiled butternut in the oven with garlic cloves tucked in the cavities and maybe surrounded with quartered sweet onions. Then blend everything with apple juice that I use for stock, and season with thyme, nutmeg, and a small amount of salt and pepper. I garnish the soup with sliced sage leaves that have been sautéed in a small amount of butter. So delicious.
replaying this to enjoy watching you cook lol. Love your rich and wonderful soup recipes and the homey time of being in your kitchen with you. Next you'll be growing barley!
thanks! that helps decision making for space. My last year with my garden... I will likely be driving across canada with a my squash and cats as passengers :-)
Hi Vivi, I cooked pumpkin soup and vegetable soup in the autumn and then frozen it. Perfect on a cold winter day. I love your videos. In my kitchen, I'll keep a place for you if you ever come to Germany to cook pumpkin soup with me. Of course you can also take a portion of it. Take good care of yourself. Greetings from Claudia from Germany.
Mmm, I had my 1st squash soup a few months ago, and I am growing my own this year for my new veg addition, my cupboards are getting condensed from all my canning/bottling of my tomatoes, corn, jams, soups, and dehydrated sweet peppers. It's sad to see all those beautiful cans of food disappearing but that means spring is right around the corner!!!! Happy cooking Vivi!!😆
I was thinking just the same the other day looking at my dwindling stock......and getting a bit nervous about feeding myself.........It's going to be mostly tomatoes/beans/onions from now 'til the summer!
Looks delicious even better your eating your garden produce I hate to tell you how much I spend on grocers I would probably make that soup since I am Vegan Thanks for sharing
I spend so little now at the shops - I love it! Also, the VAST majority of what I make/my recipes are vegan because it's cooking from my plot.....so, go on, get stuck in! Any non-vegan but veggie recipes can be easily adapted to your vegan needs too (I sometimes use cheese but it can be omitted easily). Happy scoffing! :-)
As you were dishing up the soup I thought, a bit of fresh parsley chopped added across the top, would be nice. thank you for the recipe I still have a Long Island Cheese and an acorn plus a big pumpkin still in storage. So I will be making this. Thank you.
Hahaha - I need a second plot JUST for squash!!! I'd love to give these a go for their hint of chestnut flavour........hmmm......can I find a wee space for them??!!! :-)
thankyou so much for this video, was trying to work out what to feed my son. Just been in hospital with my son due to stomach bug that flared his reflux and he's basically not taken in food for last 5 days, it's all come straight back up, all he could keep down was water. They've put him back on gaviscon and this looks perfect for what they suggested to feed him to try get his stomach to tolerate something. Thank you so much :)
Oh, sorry to hear this. I would probably exclude the barley to begin with as it can cause some folk a bit of irritation and loose bowels...........but a plain pumpkin/squash soup should be very gentle on his stomach. I do hope he feels better very quickly. :-)
@@WhatVivididnext already given it to him but he seems fine, the peadiatrician suggested the pearl barley as one the things I could give him but was trying to work out what to put it with that wouldn't flair up the reflux. He's only managed a little bit but it's alot more than he's had since he's been ill. He looks a bit more awake than he has been so he's getting there :)
horrendous rash now which last night they said was heat rash, looks nothing like a heat rash to me so he will be in with the doctors first thing monday
@@WhatVivididnext I will do, He is better in himself, so not too worried now and I have checked and it does disappear when a glass is pressed on it and they checked it too when it wasn't as bad last night
I can't wait for autumn to get here. I can almost taste the pumpkin soup. It's going to be 29 Celsius tomorrow so I guess I'll have to wait a tiny bit longer - poo!
Hi Vivi! Soup looks delish! Can’t wait to give it a try! You know, Delicatas work a treat in your roasted squash with goat cheese recipe (can you tell I like mine heavy on the stuffing?) Thank you for sharing your recipes, your garden and your journey. Diane, Duvall, WA, USA
Thanks Vivi, done my shop for this wk but will be buying some pearl barley next wk to make soup. I have got a book on making soup which is great but it's much easier to watch you. Can't remember if I've mentioned it but I'm trying the kuri squash as well as the usual butternut this yr.
Vivi have you seen weather; it's going to be freezing at night for the week :-( so if you have anything that needs covering up time to do it :-) . keep warm and well
Do you bake anything with your butternut? That's why I like pumpkin. One pumpkin, cut in half and roasted, and frozen, keeps me in pumpkin cake, bread, pancakes, cookies etc.... all winter. Don't know what Id do with all those butternuts you grew. We have the squash vine borer so I haven't grown any squash for years. I love zucchini and hate that I have to buy them. But I'm slowly battling those buggers and grew my first pumpkin ever (so proud) lol. Sorry about your sunflowers when you start to see animals eating it, throw some netting over it . Have you ever tried growing Peanuts?
I don't tend to bake much......but I keep promising myself a pumpkin pie. One of these days...... Ugh, those vine borers sound horrible - I'm grateful they're not a problem here. :-(
Yummy soup, I love pearl barley too. I have a few different squash seeds to plant this year, so great to get recipes using squash. I was wondering about saving the seeds to replant the next year, do they still grow true to the original plant, or do they cross pollenate? I suppose it wouldn't really matter, you would just have some weird and wonderful squash, but they would still be usable 😁
Hi Vivi its me Bonnie i am having a terrible day i locked myself out of my google account so i had to resubscribe if thats even a word lol i am growing the waltham butternut this year for the first time i cant wait to taste this soup And tonight i got a face full of chili peppers i nearly had to go to the ER thank god tomorrow is another day and i can try over again XXXXXXXXOXOXOO
HI vivi! as autumn starts to look closer here I'm thinking if pulling my sewing machine out and making some bunting for next seasons garden! are you going to do a tutorial. I went all weak at the knees when you produced that bunting template but haven't been able to find one here yet!
Hahaha - yes, at some point! But, ach, where do the hours in each day go???!! I got my template on Amazon......in the 'quilting' department if I remember correctly......
Looks delicious Vivi! I was wonder if you ever did a video of a Cinderella pumpkins stuffed with cheese? I do remember you mentioning it before in a vid. I have a lovely small pumpkin that would be great for this. Any advice as to the recipe?
My Cinderella pumpkin (Rouge Vif d'Estamps) was far to big to stuff! But here's a recipe for stuffing slightly smaller ones..... th-cam.com/video/S-1S2q_ynX4/w-d-xo.html
I was practically drooling as you were tasting that soup and then...... happy days, I've found a pack of pearl barley in the cupboard and I know I have a squash perfect for soup making, so off I go. Enjoy your roasted seeds to, do you put anything on them or literally just roast, and how long for please, I shall have a go :-) x
Ooooh, enjoy your soup. I usually roast my seeds plain but sometimes use a bit of salt and garlic.........around 20 - 30 mins (depends a bit on which seeds/size) on about 180*c.
What Vivi did next You are right, it’s sooooo good. I went for a quick potter in the garden while it was cooking, brr, it’s too cold to do much but I swept the patio and checked over my pots. Then back in to a wonderful smell and a bowl of deliciously warming soup. Lots left for the next couple of days too and I’ll roast those seeds later. Thankyou very much 😀

you are totally amazing. i so look forward to watching your videos. really cheers me up. thank you so much Vivi xx
Oh my goodness, thank you Susan......your lovely comments cheer me no end! :-)
I grew up eating summer squash and knew very little about winter squash--how to prepare it, etc. These days I
Thank you so much. Enjoy those acorn squash, hope it's a bumper crop for you. :-)
Perfect comforting food for winter. Or after a long flight. Or after a cold day in the garden. Colour. Taste. It has it all. Nicely done.
Hahahaha - exactly! Need to grow way more squash this year.....I can't stand being rationed to one a week now! ;-)
Keep up the good work
Cheers! :-)

Isn't it great though to have such a lovely stash in the pantry. :-) Have fun with that last one. :-)
Just spend half an hour trying to find this video again, growing squash this year for the first time ever, so fingers crossed!
Yay, I hope they do really well for you.....main thing to remember is not to water the leaves and stems (they hate it!).....if you can sink an old pop bottle next to them to water into they'll be happy......and lots of manure/compost if you have it.

Looks so Yumm as do all that you make Viv :) It is like sunshine in a bowl .Thanku for sharing ,Deb x
Thanks lovely.....I love 'orange' food at this time of year......reminds me of warmer days! :-)
Absolutely love pearl barley! Love making any type of soup with it, think I'd add it to everything if I could!. Thanks :) Pat
I totally do too!!! I'm currently experimenting with another recipe using pearl barley as part of a stuffing for roast squash (or peppers)......so far, so good.....but needs a couple of tweaks before I film it and go public as it were. ;-)

i will i must

Haha - I wish I had a big field just for growing grains and pulses! ;-)
Awesome update Vivi thank you for sharing and blessing
Cheers Linda. :-)
good to know about the delicata - I was eyeing them at the farmers market last summer...good size for a solo :-)
my favorite tool for cleaning out a squash is an old-fashioned grapefruit spoon. Works a treat!
They're perfect for one!......and so pretty.......I can't ersist growing a few this year. :-)
What Vivi did next dumb question for you... how many winter squash do you get per plant normally?
Mostly it's about two or three......but the butternuts can end up with four or five. :-)
thanks! that helps decision making for space. My last year with my garden... I will likely be driving across canada with a my squash and cats as passengers :-)

Hahahaha - thank you! I'll bear that in mind next time I hp on the Eurostar! :-)
this looks YUM :-)
Tastes eve better. :-)
Good day to you Vivi !! I 💕 homemade soups & i 💕 butternut squash so win win
Yay!......and pearl barley makes any soup gorgeous!! :-)
Lovely video as always Vivi, great advice on the squashes and pumpkins 🎃 😊
Cheers! I hope you still have some left to play with. :-)
Yum! Another recipe to try 😍
Yay! Have fun. :-)
Mmm, I had my 1st squash soup a few months ago, and I am growing my own this year for my new veg addition, my cupboards are getting condensed from all my canning/bottling of my tomatoes, corn, jams, soups, and dehydrated sweet peppers.

Love this ! :) Vivi thanks for sharing recipe :) x
Cheers lovely.....it really is the easiest soup but gosh, it does warm the cockles. :-)
Looks delicious even better your eating your garden produce I hate to tell you how much I spend on grocers I would probably make that soup since I am Vegan Thanks for sharing

You've been nominated by the lovely Cliffe, at Castle Hill Garden.
I just heard. I'm so delighted.......have massive respect for him......love his vids......and, secretly, he reminds me of my granddad. Lovely. :-)
Ohh just in time I have 2 big and 1 little pumpkins left to use up :) thanks vivi oh I'm growing butternuts this year after seeing you grow them
Perfect! Enjoy. :-)
As you were dishing up the soup I thought, a bit of fresh parsley chopped added across the top, would be nice. thank you for the recipe I still have a Long Island Cheese and an acorn plus a big pumpkin still in storage. So I will be making this. Thank you.
Hurrah for stored squash! It's so lovely to eat something so tasty and colourful at this time of year. Enjoy. :-)
I can really recommend the potimarron squash vivi. The best little squash I've ever tried, and it grows well in the Midlands!
Hahaha - I need a second plot JUST for squash!!! I'd love to give these a go for their hint of chestnut flavour........hmmm......can I find a wee space for them??!!! :-)
They really are nice and they can grow up trellis as they're a small variety.

Your soup 🍜 yummy 😋
Yay! :-)
I have five left will try this soup
Yay to having some left.........when you get to the last one it will have to be a special feast....... we'll miss them when they're gone! :-)
Vivi have you seen weather; it's going to be freezing at night for the week :-( so if you have anything that needs covering up time to do it :-) . keep warm and well
Brrrrrr!That's why I don't start much sowing before the end of March! I see some days indoors with sewing and cooking ahead of me. ;-)

Made this today utterly delish!!! How do you freeze it do you use the plastic food cartons?
Yes, I just use old take-away tubs or any other tupperware. Glad you tried and enjoyed it.......I love it now the evenings are getting chilly. :-)
I'm starting to notice that every time you post a video, Sean posts one shortly after. Too many times to be a coincidence now. Kinda funny.
Just a coincidence probably. I'm such a small fry/nobody in this social media world I'm sure he hasn't even noticed what I'm doing... ;-)
A hug in a bowl : - ) x
Exactly! We all need a bowl of hugs at this time of year. :-) X
