butternut squash soup.

i got this recipe from my friend Charlotte's blog, which she got from allrecipes.com.  i made it for a vegetarian friend who came over for dinner (and for myself, since i like butternut squash soup and no one else in my family will even look at at).

i made a few alterations to the recipe, using a bit less onion and adding in a little more chicken broth because i thought it was just a bit too thick.

picture from here.i also served mine with roasted pumpkin seeds on top as garnish...




butternut squash soup: serves 6-8
4 T. chopped onion
4 T. butter
6 C. squash, peeled and cubed
3 1/2 C. water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 pkg. cream cheese, softened (could use less)

1) saute onion in butter until tender.  

2) add squash, water, bouillon, marjoram, pepper and cayenne.

3) bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes, or until squash in tender.  puree in blender with cream cheese and reheat through if necessary.
