Cooking together can be so much fun. Especially when you both can cook!

Feel free to post a Butternut Squash soup recipe.

We are off to a good start with recipes for the holidays, keep them coming in everyone!

1 (2 to 3 pound) butternut squash, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
Nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Cut squash into 1-inch chunks. In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add squash and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove squash chunks with slotted spoon and place in a blender and puree. Return blended squash to pot. Stir and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve

*Sometimes (depending on how much time I have) I roast the squash in skin with the onions. Add some apples with olive oil & s/p -- bake til squishy and blend in food processor til smooth. Add seasonings and eat with crunchy bread.

PS. I love Peach Pot pies -- hand help yumminess!! (This way I don't have to share)
