Butternut Squash Soup


It's a rainy Autumn day and what better way to get through the day than with a good soup. This is a very simple soup to make that even my husband can make it (I love you hunny lol). My grandmother used to make this and I loved it. The best part is, any leftover raw squash goes to my dog and lizards (yes, not your run of the mill type pets I know).

Butternut Squash Soup
1 Butternut Squash
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Small to Medium Onion finely chopped 
6 Cups of chicken stock/broth
Salt and Pepper to taste

Step 1: Peel, remove seeds and cut squash into chunks about the size of playing dice
Step 2: Take the pot you will be making the soup in and melt the butter and saute the onions until clear in color
Step 3: Add squash and stock and cook until squash is tender.
Step 4: At this point you can remove the squash and puree it for a thicker soup or you can leave the chunks in or do half and half. Once you do any of those options add the salt and pepper and enjoy!

**Note**
Don't be afraid to add noodles to the soup. It definitely makes it better too

Hello Everyone!

This blog is dedicated to those looking for new recipes and those who love to cook and bake. My goal is to provide great recipes from my personal collection that use very common ingredients so you can have an amazing dish without going for exotic spices and ingredients. All of my recipes are from scratch with fresh ingredients. I will try to provide pictures to dishes (when I remember to take them) and try to put up a new recipe every couple of days or every week.
