Butternut Squash Creamy Soup

This is an AMAZING soup recipe that I just found on BHG.com and adjusted for me/food storage.

 

 

Butternut Squash Creamy Soup (any winter squash or pumpkin would work)

 

2 cups cooked butternut squash (I microwaved it in water for about 25 min, but you could also do it in the oven or on the stove--it ends up being about 3/4 a squash)

1 cup half and half or cream (or I just used 1 cup hot water and 1/3 cup milk powder)

1 can chicken broth

1/4 - 1/3 cup maple syrup (to taste)

1 TB butter

2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp salt

 

Blend in blender until creamy.  If you use hot water/cream and hot squash...or a blendtec blender...you don't have to warm, if not, warm.

 

Makes about 5 cups of soup...so you might want to double it since I guarantee you'll go through it really fast!

 

Ultra fast, ultra YUMMY!  I have to make more right now!
