Ryan found this recipe a year or two ago on Allrecipes. We had it again on Sunday. It takes some time, but you have to try it - you won't be sorry!
Look at that pretty color.Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced carrots
4 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
3 cups vegetable stock
salt and ground black pepper to taste
ground nutmeg to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
Directions:
- Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the butter and oil under tender.
- Mix the carrots and squash into the pot. Pour in vegetable stock, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the soup mixture until smooth. Return to the pot, and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through, but do not boil. Serve warm with a dash of nutmeg.
