Using squash and carrots, oh my

[omly]

Last night I made a variation of this summer squash gratin recipe where I added some thinly sliced kohlrabi to the potatoes (both of which I blanched before tossing with the squash to shorten baking time) and used sharp cheddar cheese (because it was what I had on hand). Yummy! The squash, potatoes and kohlrabi were all farmshare items. Served with a cucumber tomato salad (only the cucumbers were farmshare), this was a fairly CSA friendly meal.

Today, I need to make some carrot and butternut squash soup, which I will base on this carrot soup recipe. Umm yeah, I could follow directions, but I will leave that for the lab... (I also am interested in spinach and zucchini soup, but I will wait to see if we get any from the farmshare.)
