Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash - 26.5 oz
Onion - 2 heads
Garlic - 2 cloves
Ground Nutmeg - ¼ teaspoon
Cream - 3 tablespoons
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the squash into 1.5 cm cubes and finely chop the onion. Halve the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Pour the broth and 500 ml of water into a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Add the squash, onion, and garlic, and wait for the mixture to boil again. Reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the squash is soft.

Step 3

Strain the vegetables through a colander, but do not discard the liquid. Blend the squash mixture in a blender until smooth (you may need to add some of the reserved liquid). Pour the squash puree back into the pot, thinning it with liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Add the nutmeg and salt to taste.
