Butternut Squash Soup
I had butternut squash soup n an upscale restaurant this fall and I have been craving it ever since. This recipe came really close. I used it as a base and following the lead of other reviewers, tweaked it a bit. I roasted the squash with olive oil and dusted it with cinnamon. I scooped out the tender flesh after it roasted about an hour. It smelled great baking. While it was baking, I sautéed onion, garlic, and fresh ginger in margerne. I added chicken broth and then added the squash. As far as seasoning, I added 1/2 tsp of curry, 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and black pepper. I then used a submersion stick blender and blended the mixture in the pot. I then added 1/2 a block of cream cheese and blended it as well. It was super creamy and smooth, but was missing a little something. So I added a about 1/4 cup of cheap beer and about 2 tbsp of brown sugar. This brought it over the top! This was great!
