The weather starts to take on a slight chill, and leaves are turning from green to yellow, brown, orange, and red. Autumn represents change, the start of the holiday season, and brings nostalgic memories and traditions. Many delicious treats are flavored with fall, and one of the best ways to stay safe and celebrate the beauty of the season is to take a bite out of it! Here are three simple recipes to enjoy this fall:
Squash Soup Ideas
There are plenty of ways to stay warm and comfy during the fall seasons, from warm knitted blankets and wool sweaters to nights by the fireplace. However, one of the most delicious ways to enjoy the fall bounty is to turn the stove on and make a healthy and flavorful homemade soup of comforting veggie goodness:
You will need:
Onion
Seasonal vegetables (we recommend squash, carrots, potatoes, turnips)
Louis Sel salt (we recommend Sel Marin with Fennel and Citrus for orange vegetables like carrots or squash!)
Olive oil
Chicken/vegetable stock (optional)
cream (optional)
Now let’s begin:
Dice an onion, warm the pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes, and sauteé onion with olive oil until translucent and soft.
Dice veggies of your choice and put them in the pan with the onions.
Once you have sauteed the vegetables with the onions, pour enough liquid (chicken stock/vegetable stock/water) over to cover.
Add in a few dashes of your favorite Louis Sel.
Bring the pot to a boil, then to a simmer.
If you have time, let it simmer for 30 minutes so that flavors mix better.
Take an immersion blender and puree directly in the pot.
Voila...a perfect veloute!
Finish it with a little cream if you are feeling decadent and, of course, a sprinkle of Louis Sel!
Enjoy!

chicken pieces (we prefer legs or skin on thighs, but you can use boneless breasts)
honey
olive oil
pepper
Follow the steps:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place chicken into a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil, pepper and sel marin with herbs.
About 10 minutes into cooking, start basting good quality honey over the chicken pieces.

Stuffed Squash
The fall season is widely known for a variety of squash, including butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and green, yellow, red, as well as white pumpkins. With autumn in full swing and holidays on their way, take any squash or small pumpkin and turn it into a nutritional powerhouse with our recipe:
Ingredients:
Squash or pumpkin of your choice (we used a cute Koginut squash)
Onion
Stuffing of your choice (a diced sausage/bacon/grains/sauteed greens like kale or spinach)
Olive Oil
Cut off the top and scoop out the inside.
Drizzle with some olive oil and bake in oven 375 for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the stuffing, sautee a diced onion, then add whatever you like. For our recipe, we chose chicken sausage and wild rice, which we cooked prior.
Take the squash out of the oven and stuff with the mixture.
Then bake for another 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with a generous amount of Louis Sel Fleur de Sel and serve warm.
Enjoy a hearty and elegantly-looking fall meal as a side dish or entrèe.
