Ingredients:
  • 1 large squash, chopped and seeded.
  • 1 medium size onion
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (I like LOTS of flavor, but you can always add less nutmeg)
  • Pepper for taste
Directions:
  1. Chop onion into small pieces.
  2. Softened chopped onion with butter in a large soup pan.
  3. Once onion is softened, add chicken broth, chopped squash and nutmeg to the pan.
  4. Cook on med-high until squash is cooked (about 20 minutes).
  5. Blend the squash and onions in a blender. Be careful not to burn yourself.
  6. Add blended squash back to soup pan and pour in cream.
  7. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Take off heat, add pepper for taste.
My husband even added broccoli to his!
Eat and enjoy!

We got 16 butternut from our garden this summer. I have been trying to use one a week, and try new recipes. This soup is so yummy! I've used butternut in place of pumpkin in choc chip pumpkin bread, and last night we had a butternut corn chowder. It was really good!
