  2. Sure do! Kate Maxfield sent it to me. It is the following:

    Squash Soup (adapted from recipe I found at http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipe/classic-butternut-squash-soup)

    2 Tablespoons olive oil
    1 Onion, diced
    1 Carrot, diced
    1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
    4 cups vegetable broth
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme)

    Heat oil in a soup pot. Add diced onion and carrot and cook for a few minutes until onions are translucent, about 3 or 4 minutes. Add butternut squash, vegetable broth, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until squash is tender, about 30 minutes. Cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender (or puree with immersion blender).

    ENJOY!
