Ingredients

    1 fresh lemongrass stalk, root end trimmed and 1 or 2 outer leaves discarded
    1 large onion, chopped
    4 cups peeled, cubed, seeded butternut squash

Directions

Cut off and discard top of lemongrass, leaving a 6-inch stalk, then smash stalk with side of a large heavy knife.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and discard lemongrass.
Puree soup until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reheat if necessary.
