- Yields:
-
12 Cups
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 4 medium butternut squash
- 1 quart fat-free chicken broth
- 1 quart fat free vegetable stock
- nutmeg
- poultry seasoning
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- salt & pepper
directions
- Start by quartering the squash & de-seeding with a spoon. Take 1 Tbs of butter (melted) & brush the quarters of squash. Lightly sprinkle with salt & pepper. Using the fresh nutmeg VERY LIGHTLY grate over the quarters. Take the box of poultry seasoning and with the box in an upright position squeeze the box so the seasoning puffs out and leaves a very light dusting over the quarters.
- Place in 400 degree oven for approx 30 minutes Depending on the size of the quarters & ripeness of the squash this time may be longer. Watch the edges to make sure it doesn't burn. If you notice the egdes burning and the squash is still hard, lower temperature and continue to monitor. The squash is done when soft to touch (be careful not to burn yourself).
- Place squash flesh into pot, with the vegetable stock, and mash with potato masher. Place over high heat. Depending on how thick you like your soup, you will add more or less of the chicken stock, usually at least half of the chicken stock. I like to use emmersion blender to get soup really creamy, but this is your option.
- To finish the soup add a PINCH of cinnamon & the remaining 3 tbs of butter to soup.
- Plate in bowl, and garnish with cream if so desired.
