Answer 3

1 butternut squash 1 clove garlic (optional) 1 tsp cinnamon Salt & crushed black pepper Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a sturdy knife, cut off the top of the butternut squash near the stem, then cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and membranes. Halve again, making four wedges. Place wedges cut side up in a large glass baking dish. Rub garlic on the surfaces. Sprinkle cinnamon, salt & pepper on top. Cover in foil and roast for 35 mins, remove foil & leave to brown for another 10. Scoup the flesh out and place in a soup pot with the garlic. Add enough water to cover, bring to a boil. Remove from heat & with a handheld blender blitz till smooth. Bring back to a boil, stirring often till it's your prefered consistency. Add salt & pepper to taste. Adding other ingredients overpowers the natural sweetness of the squash. The roasting brings out the sweetness. Try this as a base & if you don't like it, you can add more this and that. Personally, I think this simple recipe is great the way it is.

Answer 5

This is the easiest, most tasty butternut squash recipie I know.

One butternut squash, peeled, scooped out, and cut into cubes.
2 cups of chicken stock (you can use bullion cubes too)

Steam cubed butternut squash in 2 Qt. pot using steamer. Use 2 cups of stock to steam for 12-15 min. or until squash when poked with fork is very soft.

Tranfer all of it to blender, (squash and stock) add 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Puree until smooth.

This creates a fat free soup (unless you add butter) that resembles a cream soup! It is truly a meal and very tasty and CHEAP to make. TRY IT before you pick best answer!
