Ingredients

    1 3/4 pounds butternut squash
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    5 cups chicken broth
    1 bay leaf
    CILANTO CREAM TOPPING:
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/4 cup whipping cream
    1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro or parsley

Directions

Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a greased or foil-lined baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 40-50 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, scoop out pulp; set aside.


In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the flour, salt, curry powder and cayenne until blended. Stir in broth. Add bay leaf. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Cool to room temperature.


In a blender or food processor, place half of the broth mixture and squash; cover and process until smooth. Repeat with remaining broth mixture and squash. Return to the saucepan; heat through. Combine the topping ingredients; place a dollop on each serving.
