Soup Cubed

After a long business meeting/lovefest at Cube Marketplace last week, I was sent home with some frozen Roasted Kobocha Soup. After it sat in my freezer for most of the week, I was finally able to whip it out in a pinch during Game 2 of postseason - a game that completely derailed my Saturday evening plans, leaving me on the couch, alone save the players.  And I got hungry. I was supposed to be at a girlfriends house eating sushi and doing face masks but 13 innings of LAA vs NYY was too good to move a muscle for.

I took the soup from the freezer and followed the super easy microwave instructions. Cut an X into the plastic, place soup in plastic in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave for 4.5 minutes. Easy enough to do during a commercial break.   When it was ready I poured the now soupy contents from the plastic/bowl into a mug and nestled into the couch.  Wow! The first sip was so delicious I had to look away from the game.  It was great - super creamy and very nicely spiced.



At the next break, I grabbed the box to check out the ingredients of what I'd just so rapidly consumed.  All natural... all ingredients I recognized. No chemicals, preservatives or flavor enhancements whatsoever.  That spice came from good ol' sage, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.  The creaminess was a trifecta of the squash, honey and a dash of cream. Here's to extra innings!
