- 6 tablespoons chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons margarine
- 6 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
- 3 cups water
- 4 cubes chicken bouillon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
- In a large saucepan, saute onions in margarine until tender. Add squash, water, bouillon, marjoram, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to boil; cook 20 minutes, or until squash is tender.
- Puree squash and cream cheese in a blender or food processor in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan, and heat through. Do not allow to boil.
We cooked the squash first to make it easier to peel and faster to cook.
We only put in 1 package of cream cheese, because it is creamy enough already!
And of course we used veggie broth instead of chicken broth!
It's pretty awesome. We've had several people ask for the recipe. I highly recommend trying this one out for thanksgiving!
i made this for the first time Sunday with squash from my backyard - enough for 12 servings and it was gone the next day. There are plenty of people wanting to try it the next time I bring some to work! Yummy!!!
