Ingredients

*1 bunch (~8) small carrots chopped into chunks

*1/4-1/2 raw acorn squash cubed(depending on how strong you want the squash flavor)

*juice from 1/2 lemon

*1/2 tablespoon melted butter

*1/4-1/2 cup goat cheese

*1/4-1/2 cup vanilla soy milk

Preparation

Steam carrots and squash in a pot until they can be pierced easliy with a fork, about 10 minutes. You will be mashing them, so you want them nice and soft.

Once steamed add them to a medium sized bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork.

Add lemon juice and butter to mixture and stir well, continuing to break up any chunks still in the bowl.

Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of goat cheese according to your taste. I just take crumbled goat cheese and sprinkle it on top until the mixture is covered. Mash the goat cheese into the mixture until it’s creamy.

Stir in 1/4 cup of the milk. Once stirred in thoroughly, taste. If you want it more creamy or thinner texture, add more milk to taste.

*Note: If you are a fan of blenders or food processors, you could also just toss all of the above into one and give it a whirl until smooth.

Variation: You might be able to add some fake chicken or vegetable stock to this and a little more of everything in the recipe and turn it into a soup. I haven’t tried it, but I imagine it would be tasty.
