little ornamental gourd quilt! I started this last fall by dyeing and then bleaching out the shapes, but finally quilted it last night and added some satin stitch details. putting this one up for sale, could be used like a doily or a table runner under a centerpiece or I can add a hanging loop for wall mounting. hand painting and sewn with my free motion foot

Video by the Catalan recipe blog lasofregida on Instagram. The song is "No fer tant" by Guillem Roma.
In autumn, it's very popular to eat soups like this. Here I'm calling this a soup because it's what it's called in English, but in Catalan we usually make a difference between a soup / sopa (broth with things in it, usually pasta and can also have vegetables and sometimes some meat) and what we see in this video which we'd call a cream / crema. A "cream" is made of vegetables and is made into a homogeneous creamy liquid.
In this case, La Sofregida is making one of the most common "creams" for autumn: squash "cream".
I'll add her recipe under the cut.
Squash cream (crema de carbassa):
Ingredients:
Squash
Leek
Scallion
Water
A sprinkle of olive oil
Salt
You can also add carrots or a potato and some cheese that melts easily, and mix it all in like the other ingredients.
Preparation:
Place the vegetables in a pan and add a sprinkle of olive oil and salt, then slightly stir-fry the vegetables to bring out the taste.
Add water to boil them for 30-40 minutes more or less, until the vegetables are cooked.
Mix it all with a blender to make a homogenous soup, and serve!
When you serve it, you can add a bit of Iberian ham or bacon on top. Enjoy!
