Butternut Squash Soup

Yummy!!! So here is an AWESOME recipe for butternut squash soup. I combined two recipes; one from Jason and another from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa). This soup was good because it was sweet, spicy, and very hearty. Here's what I did...

Ingredients:

Butternut squash (About 12 ounces)

1 apple (I chose a Gala apple)

1/2 tablespoon of curry powder

1 teaspoon of thyme

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of pepper

chicken stock

1 medium onion

butter

Instructions:

1. I put some butter in a pot and added the butternut squash, apple, and onions. (I bought a 12 ounce bag of butternut squash from Trader Joe's already cut up for only $1.99!)


2. Saute these up for a little bit, then add the salt, pepper, thyme, and curry powder.


3. Let the vegetables and apple soften a bit, then add chicken stock until it is barely covering all of the vegetables (+apple).


4. After you can basically break up the butternut squash (only took me about 15 minutes), puree all of it together.


5. Serve!

I used my handy dandy Magic Bullet to puree the soup and the consistency was perfect! I gotta say, I LOVE kitchen gadgets. ;)

Anyway, in the picture, you'll see a little bit of avocado as garnish, but it really didn't add or take away from the dish much so you probably don't need it. Gosh, I wish I had a better camera so that you could see how pretty the soup was, but I guess this will have to do for now. I'm making Jessica's french toast tomorrow morning!! Wait for the update.
