Description

If you are already craving the flavors of fall, try this delicious Butternut and Acorn Squash Soup. If you are feeling decadent, use the cream cheese called for in the recipe. For a thinner soup, you can use milk instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Butternut Squash, Halved And Seeded
  • 1 whole Acorn Squash, Halved And Seeded
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ cups Chopped Sweet Onion
  • 1 quart Chicken Broth
  • ⅓ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 pinch Ground Cinnamon, to taste
  • 1 pinch Fresh Parsley, Or Other Herb Of Choice, For Garnish

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the squash halves cut side down in a baking dish. Bake 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Scoop the pulp from the skins. Discard skins.

2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.

3. In a blender or food processor, blend the squash pulp, onion, broth, brown sugar, cream cheese, pepper, and cinnamon until smooth. This may be done in several batches.

4. Transfer the soup to a pot over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Yum! So wonderful on a rainy September afternoon. The squash I had were huge so this made a lot more than 4 servings. I added a little more cinnamon as well as some ginger and nutmeg. Easy to follow and warmed me up!
