Squash for Soup

I love this soup. And by this soup I mean the platonic ideal of all of the soups that Emma's made these past few weeks. They are all squash soups, with some potatoes thrown in for thickener, and they all share the distinction of lacking a recipe. I made a few honest attempts at recording the process, but deep down I was worried that my involvement would somehow throw the soup off course.

I just think that soup is the best way to use squash that you're not as comfortable with (like the Carnival pictured here, the first I'd ever seen). Here's my attempt at recreating Emma's kitchen witchery.
