velvety pumpkin soup with rice and cinnamon

last night i made some soup i used the velvety pumpkin soup with rice and cinnamon recipe but i could not get a pumpkin here at this time of year so i used a butternut squash in its place. First i got all the ingredients i needed out and i chopped the butternut squash

i put the butternut squash in a soup pot and added the milk and set it to boil while i mixed my stock up

after i mixed out the stock i added it in, at this time i also started boiling my rice

i then added suger, salt and pepper and biled then simmered for about 20 minutes, once the butternut squash was become soft i then removed it from the pot and blended it. i did not make it completely smooth though as i like just a little texture. then mixed it back into stock and added the rice

i then boiled it again added cinnamon and it was ready to eat. a ate it with a slice of buttered bread

this soup was something new for me,it was nice to try something different and it had a nice taste although it was rather sweet. I do think i would make this again but maybe not add sugar as i did enjoy it but almost felt like i was eating a treat rather than soup.

I wish that you could see, What I see

This is the start of my blog
i am new to this but i am planning on filling this blog with updates about all the things i enjoy . Like cooking and baking and sewing and any other fun or interesting things i might be doing.
I  might also include some other day to day updates so it might be a wee bit random at times .
But thats just like me anyways!

I love cooking all kinds of food and trying new recipes and want to blog about some new and interesting ones that i come across. Baking is one of the things i love to do most so its likely that there will be a lot posted about what ive been baking :)


Sewing on the other hand its been a while from i last done that but im planning on gettin back in the way of it and making lots of fun items soon enough


I decided to make a blog to post this on to try to help me actually do things again instead of just sitting around thinking about doing things but then being to lazy to actually do them. Im hoping to be updating at least 1s per week but will just have to wait and see how that goes!
