vegan dinner party

Thursday night, having the privledge of a night off work, I decided to embark on a new soup adventure and involve a couple of friends in it. I know I make a lot of soup, I can't really seem to help it, these days. In fact, the next two things I am planning to make are soups!
This time, it was butternut squash, red lentil, and ginger soup. This was another puree, it had onion and tomatoes in it as well, and it was just perfectly gingery although processing the butternut squash was somewhat obnoxious, it was definitely worthwhile. The recipe called for two inches of grated ginger, though if you just can't get enough ginger you could probably use more if you wanted. In addition to the soup, we had a white corn/edamame salad with rice wine vinegar and sesame oil dressing that was a very tasty cold salad and went quite well with the soup. We also had a bottle of 337 Cabernet Sauvignon, which wasn't bad but also wasn't great. I wouldn't get it again, I don't think.
