Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup

1 Butternut Squash

1 Onion, med sized, chopped or pureed

1 Carrot, normal size, chopped pureed

Chicken broth or boullion

Garlic, minced or powder

Pepper

Cayenne Pepper

Olive Oil

Parsley (optional)

I only cut the squash into halves, but I would recommend cutting into 4ths for faster cooking time. I just stuck in the microwave on a plate until it was soft enough to scoop out with a spoon, but you can roast in the oven too.

I started out by cooking the Olive Oil, Carrots, and Onion

Added 5-6 tsp of Chicken Base and water. (Water will depend on how soupy you want your soup, I like mine on the thick side) Then add Garlic, Pepper, and a little Cayenne.

Add the Squash, let simmer and then beat with a whisk, or with a hand blender

Sprinkle in some dried parsley, stir in for a few minutes serve with breadsticks.
