Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup chopped sweet onion
1 quart chicken broth
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon to taste
fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the squash halves cut side down in a baking dish. Bake 45 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Scoop the pulp from the skins. Discard skins.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the squash pulp, onion, broth, brown sugar, cream cheese, pepper, and cinnamon until smooth. This may be done in several batches.
  • Transfer the soup to a pot over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. It turned out great!
