Butternut Squash Soup!

I love butternut squash,  especially as soup. 

Want my super delicious recipe?  


I thought so :)



You need:

1 butternut squash
veggie oil
1 sweet onion
2 or 3 cloves garlic
4 cups chicken or veggie broth
cinnamon
nutmeg
cloves
ginger
cardamom
cayenne pepper
black pepper
brown sugar


The first step is to peel and chop up the squash.  This is the most challenging part and takes a bit of muscle.  (Don't forget to scoop out the seeds!)







Next, heat up 1 to 2 Tablespoons oil on medium heat.  Chop up the onions and cook for about 3 minutes. 



Mince the garlic and measure out about  1/4 teaspoon each of the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom cayenne and black peppers. 


 Add the garlic and spices to the onions and stir in.  Cook for another minute or so.  Add in all of the squash and the broth.





Bring it to a boil, then lower to a simmer and let cook covered for 20 minutes until the squash is nice and soft.





This next part you could do a couple of ways:  I use a hand-held mixer in the pot to cream everything up until its really smooth.  You could also transfer small batches at a time to a blender to puree everything.

Either way,  add in about 5 Tablespoons of brown sugar and blend it in.

Add more of the other spices to taste if you wish.  I usually end up adding more cayenne since I love the spicyness!





Dish up and eat up!  I like to serve mine with honey wheat toast to dip in the soup.
