Ingredients
-
5 cup vegetable broth
3 pounds butternut squash, seeded, cut into 4 or 5 pieces (or peel and cube)
1/2 large vidalia onion(s), cut into 2-inch cubes
1 small apple(s), peeled and cut into to 2-inch cubes
2 medium sweet potatoes
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, or to taste
1/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of saffron (optional)
olive oil spray
8 oz low fat cream cheese (cubed)
Directions
Cut squash into 4 or 5 large pieces, scrape out seeds and stringy material. Place squash, garlic, onion, apple, and sweet potato on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Spray vegetables with olive oil and roast for one hour at 300 degrees F.
When cool enough, remove the skin from the squash if it wasn’t peeled in advance. Add the roasted vegetables and spices to the broth and let simmer on low for an hour. When vegetables are tender, carefully blend it with a hand mixer or a blender until smooth.
For additional creaminess, add cream cheese to the mixture and cook an additional 20 minutes until the cheese is melted. Add pinch of saffron at this point if desired. Stir thoroughly before serving.
Tip: To quicken cooking time chop cooked vegetables a little smaller just before placing in broth.
Tip: You can roast the vegetables the day before and then place them, the broth and seasonings in a crock pot the next morning on low for 3-4 hours. 1/2 hour before serving, use the mixer to blend the vegetables then add the cream cheese allowing it time to melt. Stir well before serving.
