This is a simple and easy butternut squash soup. I roasted the squash for 1/2 hour before peeling and cubing (so much easier to peel this way! and roasted a peeled/cored bosc pear along with it on the Silpat covered pan. Cut up peeled squash and the pear and sauteed the roasted squash, 2 Tbs. fresh sage, pear and onions in butter and olive oil. After reading reviews, I added 3 Tbs. flour to the veggies and cooked for a couple of minutes to cook the flour. Added 4c. chicken stock and cooked for 1/2 hour in dutch oven on stove top. Pureed, added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, some fresh grated nutmeg and salt & pepper to taste. Added back to pot and added 1/4 cup half & half to finish off. SO GOOD!!!

Easy but outstanding, we make our own broth which just adds to the flavor.

One of the easiest soup recipes I have made but unlike most easy recipes, this one is tasty without any embellishments. I made this for a party to sit out in a crock pot for guests to help themselves while I finished preparing the main course. I doubled the recipe and was shocked that all but about 1 cup of it was gone once dinner was served. Everyone raved on how good it was. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I changed it up a bit. I used just enough chickens stock to cover the squash. I also added one Honeycrisp apple. I cooked until tender then used my "boat motor". I added a little tiny cream to thicken up. To top it I added a pat of cold butter & some amareto agave nectar.

Easy and delicious! I used less broth to thicken it up, but super quick and healthy.

I tried to double this recipe seeing as the serving size is only six and it was for a Christmas party. for a double recipe: use 3 squash at least. With just the regular measurements it was too watery so i had to add another. A little less onion maybe. After the alterations were made it was DELICIOUS! So i guess just like any other recipe, you will have to tweak it to your own taste.

Great recipe - I also used only 1/2 onion and 4C of Chicken Broth. It was very tasty and very easy! Added a dollup of sour cream to give it a little extra flavor.

This recipe is so easy and it was delicious! I actually used sauteed shallots instead of onion which gave it a bit richer flavor. I also pureed it in the food processor until it was smooth as silk. We poured the soup in shot glasses for Thanksgiving with fresh crab meat! It was a first course winner. It'll be a tradition in my home for the holidays. Thanks for sharing.

I used a HUGE 5 lb Squash. I sautéed one medium onion and butter then put it in my BlendTec/Vitamix to puree the onion and added it to the squash - broth. I used a little less than 32 ounces of Broth. The consistency was quite nice but I have to say that's probably the BelndTec. It was a little bland even with fresh grated nutmeg. I think a little Curry or Chinese 5 spice would add some kick. I settled in with a dash of ground cloves, cinnamon, and fresh grated nutmeg. I would make this again it's very easy. Hardest part as always is cutting up a large Butternut Squash.
