If you ever had Butternut Squash Soup, you will understand why I picked this recipe as a delicious and easy dinner meal. The ease of this recipe makes a great meal for those hectic weeknights. This recipe is one of my go-to recipes during the week. And can easily be made in larger batches if you have company. I prefer to make portion-controlled dishes and this one is no different. It makes a serving of 4 but you can easily double it to make extra for company. So let's begin.
Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients:
1 ¼ - 1 ½ Butternut squash (already cut) - Cut even smaller into 1-inch pieces
⅛ tsp Pepper
⅛ tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
¼ tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Granulated Garlic
¼ tsp Curry
¼ tsp Ginger
2 cups Chicken Broth
¾ cup light cream
Butternut Squash Soup Instructions:
Below you will find the step-by-step instructions on how I made this dish.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
First, I weight the butternut squash to find out where I was with how much butternut I had.
Then I cut them into 1-inch pieces so they would cook quicker.
I placed them in a bowl and tossed it with olive oil, granulated garlic, and pepper. Then, roasted the butternut squash on a parchment paper
When the squash was finished, I put the pieces in the pot with all the other ingredients (except for the light cream). I then used an emulsion blender
Then, I added the light cream and used the emulsion blender to mix the cream in. And, that's it. Dinner was ready.
Tips: A side of toasted garlic bread and a light salad would work well with this dish.

I always enjoy reading your recipes, Sabrina, and this one is no exception. My hubby has heart disease so I don't cook with even light cream. I wonder if you could substitute something else?
I'm glad you are enjoying the recipes. You can try stirring in soy milk at the very end so it doesn't get too hot. Soy milk gets a nutty flavor when it gets hot. There are also lots of butternut squash soup recipes that do not have heavy cream in it. Here is one I found. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/butternut-squash-soup-with-chipotle-cream-recipe.html Thanks for stopping by.
