Creamy Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Pan-fried Tofu

Posted in butternut squash, main dish, raw, soup on January 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »

 Happy New Year to one and all!  This is one of my favorite things to make and it is amazingly simple as well.  Sometimes I just want to cook something where I can just use 1 or 2 dishes or pots and be done with it.  I usually make one pot stew/soup dishes but I [...]
