Ingredients
-
1 tbsp bacon fat or margarine
1 whole, large butternut squash (1-2 pounds) cut into cubes
1/2 a large red onion, diced
1/4 cup of bacon pieces (optional)
1 tsp curry seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp white pepper
1/2 pint light whipping cream
1/4 cup of lime juice
salt to taste
croutons (to serve)
dollop of sour cream (to serve)
pinch of rosemary (to serve)
Directions
Cut and peel a large butternut squash, set aside.
In large pot, sweat 1/2 a large red onion in a tbsp of bacon fat or margarine. Add bacon pieces if desired. (for vegetarian recipes, eliminate the bacon). Let cook down. Add spices (you can play with these, I estimated...). When the onions are cooked, add a container of chicken broth (the middle sized ones... about $2.50 at the store) and the squash. Let it boil down and cook for 30 minutes, allowing the squash to soften. Then, puree in blender or with immersion blender. Add cream and lime juice. Serve with croutons, a pinch of dried rosemary, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serving Size: Makes about 6-8 servings
