Squash Soup

As the leaves turn and fall swings into full force, I've gotten out an oldie but goodie recipe I want to make this week.

I love this soup. Even my husband likes this soup and he does NOT like squash. My kids even eat this soup, although sometimes I tell them it's cheese soup and let them pour it over a baked potato like cheese sauce. Any way you eat it, it's good.

Squash Soup

6 Tbsp onion, chopped

4 TBsp butter

6 cups squash (such as Butternut) peeled and cubed

3 cups water

4 cubes chicken boullion

1/2 tsp dried marjoram

1/4 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1 pkg cream cheese

In large saucepan, saute onions in butter. Add squash, water, boullion, spices. Bring to boil and cook 20 minutes or until squash is tender. Puree in blender or food processor with cream cheese until smooth. Return to pan and keep warm until ready to serve.

Oh Yummy. My mouth is watering already.

You can also add in broccoli, peppers, steamed carrots, potatoes or other veggies at the very end for variety or if you like your soups "chunky" but it's really good just as is. You can lower butter and cream cheese amounts to make it healthier and you'll barely notice.
