Couple Christmas Squash Soup

A seasonal soup and a dressing scene, in that order. The squash is prepared properly — peeled, cubed, roasted before it goes into the pot, which is what gives the soup its colour and is a step most games in this catalogue would skip.

Roasting is the difference between this and the pumpkin soup listed nearby. One simmers raw flesh and one caramelises it first, and the finished bowls look and are described differently, which makes the pair worth having both.

The outfit scene at the end is short and belongs to a different genre. As with the other titles here that carry one, the food is finished before it starts and nothing in the wardrobe affects the recipe.

1. Peel and cube the squash.
2. Roast it until the edges caramelise.
3. Simmer with stock and blend the soup.
4. Serve, then choose the festive outfits.

Let the squash take real colour in the oven. Pale roasted squash gives a pale soup, and no amount of seasoning afterwards puts back what the roasting stage did not do.
