This is a very basic recipe and super easy. I have a few different ways to change it up a little. Great for a chilly evening.
Ingredients
- 1 large
- butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
- 2 Tbsp
- butter
- 1 medium
- onion, chopped
- 6 c
- chicken broth
- 1 tsp
- salt
- 1/2 tsp
- black pepper
- 1/4 tsp
- freshly ground nutmeg
How to Make Butternut Squash Soup
- 1In a large pot, melt the butter and add the onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the stock and the squash and simmer until the squash is tender. With a blender, food processor or immersion blended, blend the squash and onions until smooth. Return to pot. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- 2With this basic recipe, I like to garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream. Croutons could be added to the bowls. Other variations I have made are to add a peeled and cored apple to the squash or add a couple of teaspoons of madras curry. Crumbled fried bacon also makes a nice topping.
