Recipe Idea: Butternut Squash Soup
An easy and delicious soup for almost all occasions. Butternut squash is prime for the picking now and soup is total comfort food as it starts to get darker and colder.

Makes about 6 servings:
1 large butternut squash (about 4 lbs.), peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
Nutmeg
1 onion, chopped
5 cups veggie broth

Cut peeled (and seeded) squash into 1-inch chunks.

Slowly melt the butter in a large pot. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add squash and veggie broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until squash is tender (~ 20 minutes).

Remove squash chunks with slotted spoon, place in a blender and puree with some of the liquid mixture. Return blended squash to pot. OR puree the squash in the pot if you have a hand blender or immersion blender.  You can get affordable immersion blenders at any kitchen store, McGuckins, Target, or Amazon.

Stir and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. “Guten Appetit!”
