So with squash seemingly very abundant right now I tried this soup yesterday. I have been craving it for a couple of weeks with my recent condition and I got sick of waiting for someone to make it for me. I found this easy recipe and it was so good. Try it.
Butternut Squash Soup
1 to 1 1/2 lbs. Butternut Squash (I used two)
1 tbsp. Butter
1/2 cup onion sliced thin
3 garlic cloves
2 cups chicken broth
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. White Pepper (I used black and it was fine)
1/2 cup heavy cream (my SIL used evaporated milk)
Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds and roast on a baking sheet for 35 minutes (it took more like 50 minutes for me). Remove from oven and scrape flesh into a bowl. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat and saute onion and garlic. Add squash, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree in a food processor until smooth; return to saucepan; add cream stirring constantly without boiling until hot.
I later added more salt and a little brown sugar to each bowel and it was tasty, yum. I ate half of the whole pan myself. I just sat and ate it all day long. Probably won't be able to eat it for a long time now but yesterday it was so good. Let me know if you try it.
I've never really eaten squash so I don't know if I like it. But I will have to try this sometime so I can determine if I like squash or not. These recipe seems easy enough for me.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congrats on your "recent condition!" Second - Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe. I have 3 butternut squashes sitting here just waiting to be turned into something. I will definitely be trying this one!! THANKS!! (p.s. I am glad someone else is posting recipes too!!)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting on the pregnancy, how close is that to your DS. I feel your pain I have a friend that I hang out with and she is about 10 weeks and she has had to leave the room often to throw up. When is your due date? Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteOkay moth-woman, I tried this last night...yummy!!! I used evaporated milk instead since cream is just not something I had on hand.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor says that bacon in it is also so good....
