BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP


(RECIPE POSTED BY SANDRA HEBERT) - Easy, Fast and Soooo Good

1 Butternut Squash cubed
3 Tbsp. Butter
1 Box Chicken soup broth
1 Bag Fresh Baby Spinach
2 Tbsp. Chicken Soup Powder
4 Cups Water
1 tsp. Basil
Parmesan cheese to garnish as desired

Saute squash in butter till softened, about 20-30 min. Add broth, chicken soup base powder, water and basil. Let flavors blend...maybe another 15 - 20 minutes....before serving drop a handful of spinach leaves per bowl into the soup. It will look like a lot at first but after one minute will wilt. Serve and sprinkle with parmesan cheese

  1. Hi Sandra. I made this soup but wasn't quite sure if you peeled the squash first before cooking? Also wasn't sure what was meant by a box of chicken soup broth? Is a can or a few knorr oxo pouches equivalent? To make it smooth, I put it in a blender to puree after cooking for 40 mins.
    Thanks, Carole

    Hello........you do have to peel and seed the squash first. Boxes of soup broth like Campbells or store brands aren't quite as salty as powders but I'm sure in a pinch you can use whatever you have.
