Butternut Squash Soup Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

This is one of my coffee table decoration recipes. 

One of my childhood friend’s mom in Royal Oak, Michigan decorated her home with seasonal foods from Western Michigan it seemed.  Even as a young child, I wondered if she used her pumpkin, dried corn, butternut squash, and zucchini squash to make soups out of her fall decorations.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

-1 large butternut squash
-1 large chopped onion
-1 teaspoon dry garlic
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1 (32-ounce) container chicken broth
-32 ounces water
-1/4 cup quinoa flour
-1 cup milk or cream

Steps:

1-Peel and seed a butternut squash.  Chop the squash into small pieces.

2-Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes in a soup pot.

3-Add chicken broth, water, pieces of butternut squash, and quinoa flour to the onion mixture.

4-Bring soup to a boil and let boil for 45 minutes or until the butternut squash is soft.

5-Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool.  Insert an immersion blender into the soup and purée the soup until it is smooth.

6-Reheat the soup and stir in cream or milk.

Serve soup with your favorite toast.

Bon appétit!
