My wife just lightly browns chopped onions in a little oil, adds diced
squash, good chicken/veg stock (pref. veg.), seasons and cooks until the
squash is soft, then whizzes it in the blender (you can adjust consistency
with more stock/mashed butternut), serves with a dollop of cream/cream
cheese and a sprinkle of pepper - it's very simple but _very_ delicious.

Tried and true, everyone who has ever tasted this loves it.

Jill's Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

2 butternut squash (about 4 lbs.)
2 Tbs. olive oil
4 c. chicken stock or broth
2 c. water
1-1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried tarragon leaves

Cut squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive
oil and place, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast the squash at 350F
for 1 hour until tender. Handle with an oven mitt; scoop the flesh from the
shell with a spoon and place in a large mixing bowl. In another mixing
bowl, blend together the stock and water. Add a little minced garlic if
desired. Puree the squash in a blender or food processor with the liquid in
batches, adding liquid as needed, until smooth (this can also be done in the
cooking pot with a stick blender). Add the salt & pepper, onion powder and
tarragon. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook over very
low heat about an hour, stirring occasionally. Serves 8-10.

She's right! I hate squash (even butternut), but Jill's recipe makes it
taste delicious. If you like tarragon, you should love this soup! I'm
making a batch of it in a little while. Gotta break in the cleaver I got
for Christmas. 🙂

1 1/2 pounds peeled, seeded butternut squash (2 small), cut in chunks
2 [censored] green apples, peeled and chopped
1 onion, coarsely chopped
Pinch each of rosemary and marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 quart chicken stock
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Combine squash, apples, onion, rosemary, marjoram, salt, sugar, pepper and
stock in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 hour.

Strain squash and apples from soup, puree in electric blender and return to
soup. Melt butter in a separate saucepan. Add flour, mix well and pour soup
through a strainer over the flour mixture, a little at a time.
Stir well with a whisk. Bring to a boil. Stir half-and-half into soup and
heat through but do not boil. Makes 6 servings. FROM: [email hidden].

Whisky Squash Soup

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 pounds squash (acorn, buttercup, butternut, etc.)
6 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup rye whiskey
1 bay leaf and 2 sprgs thyme, tied together with string
1 tablespoon maple syrup
salt and white pepper to taste
1/4 cup sour cream or whipping cream

Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Peel the
squash and cut the flesh into cubes. In a soup pot, melt the butter with the
olive oil over medium-low heat and cook the onion, covered, until tender.
Stir in the squash, stock, whisky, herb bundle, and syrup and bring to a
boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until squash is softened, about 30
minutes. Remove the herb bundle and discard. Using a food process or a
hand-held immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to
a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Whisk in the sour cream or whipping cream, or drizzle a
tablespoon or so over each bowl. Serves 4-6.

Have a look at emeril's lagasse's site and look for a butternut sqash soup
with italian sausages and fried sage. It takes a while for the whole
recipe (about 3 hours) but it is really out of the ordinary.

Your pleasure...

Lovery soup. The only modification I did with it was not to use the
olive oil. I just baked the squash oil free. (See Jill I don't always
add Mushrooms)
