This is a delightful recipe! I poked holes in the squash and microwaved it to soften before peeling and cutting. Then sautéed the onions in olive oil, and added chicken stock, a couple of bay leaves (since I have a bay tree), the squash and freshly ground nutmeg. I used my immersion blender to make it smooth. It lacked flavor, so I added some curry powder and served with seasoned croutons. Easy and delicious!

This is sooo good! It took hardly any time to make, it's nice and healthy, and it tastes amazing! I loved the nutmeg in it, and it was so thick and yummy, you didn't need cream at all! I used salt reduced stock, and just used the stick blender to blend everything up at the end. We served it with some baked croutons, and a littlle extra pepper sprinkled on top. The kids raved about it, and have asked me to put the leftovers in their thermoses for school lunches tomorrow! Thanks for sharing, Mo! :)

PLEASE RATE MY RECIPES!! :)
My husband and I have been happily married for six years and we have two amazing children!
I stay home with our son and daughter and stay busy in with local mom's groups and activities. I am a certified childbirth educator (bradleybirth.com) and also teach and supervise the Aqua Aerobic department at one of our local gyms. I am somewhat of a health nut/hippee and distribute whole food suppliments (morganlovesjuiceplus.com), but I love to bake and to share my baked goods. There is no better compliment than when some one takes a bite of my very own Chocolate Chip Cookies and says they are the best they've ever tasted! (Sorry, it's a secret recipe!) I would love to open my own bakery someday...
I like to cook for my family too, and have become exceptionally motivated since our son was born. I have been finding myself getting swept away reading cookbooks (while the kids are sleeping). :) I am really enjoying trying new recipes (and so is my husband) and I think I am becomming a "Foodie" so Recipezaar is simply heaven for me!
