Creamless Butternut Squash Soup

This is a Food Network recipe that only has four main ingredients. I first had this with my husband at a friend's house and it blew us away! So good, and with bags of pre-cut squash available at most grocery stores, it's a breeze to put together!

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 6 bowls

Ingredients

• 1 (2 -3 lb)  butternut squash, peeled and seeded
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1  medium onion, chopped
• 6  cups  chicken stock
•  nutmeg
•  salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Cut squash into 1-inch chunks (I cut out this step by getting a bag precut squash).
2. In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes.
3. Add squash and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
4. 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.
