Apple-Squash soup

Have you wondered what some of my food flops look like? Here is one:

There is this cute little restaurant nearby that has a yummy squash and apple soup. It inspired me to find a recipe to try. The picture of it in the book does not look anything, and I mean ANYTHING like the above. Next time I will just make my favorite Butternut squash soup and just add the apples because I know I like the flavor of that soup.

This one called for 1/2 a cup (HALF a freakin' cup!) of mustard. MUSTARD! Now, I didn't even put that much. I only put 1/4 cup and it was still over powering. It looked and smelled like a baby's diaper. So Laura, you were right! I should have listened and left the mustard completely out. The whole pan went down the garbage disposal.

So, my advice? Unless you really love mustard, don't make the Apple-Squash Soup recipe in the Light Cooking Book on page 117!
