Has anyone ever made butternut squash. I have made it but was wondering if anyone has a recipe better than mine.

Recipe

peeled the squash then add onion, carrots celery then add chicken broth and cooked until soft then put it in the blender and then cooked it for a little while longer.

Any recipe for sweet potatoe soup.

Thank you.

I have tried this recipe before and I think it is delicious!

Butternut Squash Bisque

2 Tablespoons butter
2 small onions, minced
3 cups peeled, seeded and cubed Butternut squash
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1 1/2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup cream (I use 1/2 & 1/2)
1 1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
salt & pepper

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes (until soft). Add the squash, stock, potatoes and paprika. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer for about 35 minutes, until the vegatables are soft. Pour the soup into a food processor or blender and puree. Return the soup to the pan and stir in cream. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Top each bowl with the fresh chives.

I have a recipe for Sweet potato and Red Pepper soup that is good too. Let me know if you are interested and I will post it.

2 red bell peppers (about 8 oz. each), seeded and cubed

Dice a small amount of the red pepper for garnish and set aside. Put the red pepper, onion, garlic, sweet potatoes, wine and stock into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Season to taste with hot-pepper sauce and S&P. Garnish with the diced red pepper.

(This soup is good served hot or at room temperature)
