Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 (2 - 3 pound) butternut squash (cooked and seeded)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 cups chicken stock ( or broth)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground white or black pepper

Instruction

  • Scrape butternut squash from peelings and place into the container of a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the butternut squash. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet. Saute onion and garlic in the butter until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add to the butternut squash, along with chicken stock and ground cumin.
  • If using a blender, remove the center piece from the lid, cover with a dish towel and blend on low speed, increasing as needed until the butternut squash is smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides of the container as needed.
