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 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

How To Make butternut squash soup

  • Step 1
    In 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.
  • Step 2
    With 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.
