Winter Butternut Squash Soup
"This came from Gourmet Magazine. I had Butternut Squash Soup for the 1st time ever on one of my fishing trips. Surprizingly, I loved it so came home and found this recipe. Now my guess is that if a 2 year little boy loves it, it is probably a winner. Whenever I try new recipes I share with my neighbors. Ryan, the little boy across the street loved it."

Great recipe! Finished by blending in Vitamix! Saved time by cooking squash in microwave, also used ginger spice rather than fresh ginger root .

Delicious. Didn't have enough chicken broth; however had left over chicken, drained some of the drippings and mixed with water to equal little less than cup. Will make it again, -
I'm sitting down to eat this soup for lunch. I had a 1/2 of a butternut squash left over from another recipe, couldn't let it go to waste! I halved the recipe, used a small carrot to make up the rest of the squash, used some frozen left over chicken stock and oulla! delish! I'm on a "kitchen cleanse" using up as many left overs in my cupboard and freezer:) I've put it on my blog as well: http://kitchencleanse.blogspot.com/ -
delish! I've passed the recipe around my office and it was very well received! Don't skimp the ginger. It adds to the earthiness. -
Great Soup. I really like the fresh gingerroot. Thanks for a great new soup recipe.
