It is a cold and rainy day . I grabbed a butternut squash at the local supermarket and finally had some time today to go ahead and try putting together a butternut squash soup recipe. I used a recipe on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/\/Recipe\/butternut-squash-soup\/Detail.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Allrecipes.com<\/a> for some early guidance, but made some modifications of my own.<\/p>\n<p>First off, I went ahead and baked the butternut squash in the oven. I cut the squash in half from top to bottom and sprayed with olive oil. I placed them on a cookie sheet facedown and bake it for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients for butternut squash soup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 medium (about 6 cups) baked butternut squash<\/li>\n<li>olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup chopped onion<\/li>\n<li>4 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<li>3 cups chicken broth<\/li>\n<li>1 8 oz package light cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon cayenne<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon dried marjoram<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the butternut squash was done baking I cut off the skin with a knife and chopped it into small enough pieces to get them in the blender. I added a cup of chicken broth (I used low sodium chicken broth) and some of the cream cheese (I used a lower fat cream cheese) and blended and pureed until everything was really smooth. It took me two batches in the blender which I poured into a big bowl and set aside while I prepared the other ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>In a large soup pan melt the butter and sautee the onions in the butter until they were clear. I add the onions with butter in the blender, added the last cup of chicken broth and spices and pureed. I mixed everything back into the soup pan and heated over medium low heat for about 15 minutes (until the soup was hot, but don&#8217;t let it boil).<\/p>\n<p>Serve with bread for dipping. Add salt and pepper to personal taste.<a style=\"text-decoration:none\" href=\"\/index.php?nz=shop-for-avapro\">.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love butternut squash soup!
