I am nutty for butternut!


Here is a great recipe I found on the food network website. We really enjoyed it so here is the recipe! Let me know what you think if you try it.

Butternut Squash Soup

1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 C. chicken/veggie stock (If you like a thicker and creamier soup, 5 cups would be better)
Dash nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter. Add onion until translucent. Add Squash and stock. Cook 15 - 20 minutes or until squash is tender. Take squash chunks out of liquid and blend until smooth. Stir squash back into liquid. Add spices until desired. Simmer for a few minutes and serve.

*To add more flavor, saute 2 chopped cloves of garlic with onion.
