A resilient pantry means delicious meals from stored food. It is possible.

Tonight's dinner is a curried apple butternut squash soup.

It is a soup you would order from a restaurant. I get raves from everyone I feed it to.

I am able to pull it together from my food storage.

Butternut squash - easy to grow, abundant, stores well all winter

Spiced apples - canned from a neighbor's apple trees. Taste great in this soup. Also great with oatmeal, as a side to roast pork, or on top of Dutch Baby pancakes.

Apple juice - made from the skins and cores of the apples above. Canned for long term storage.

Roast the butternut squash. Combine in a pot with the following. 1-2 cups spiced apples. 1-2 cups apple juice. 1 knob minced ginger (1 tsp dried). 2 tsp curry spice. Salt to taste. Blend with immersion blender.

Yum.
