Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash is a pain to peel but so worth it in the end~

Butternut Squash

1 small onion diced

2 Tbsps Butter ( no margarine it is 1 DNA molecule away from being plastic)

Fresh Grated Ginger

1/2 cup orange juice

Peel and cube a few butternut squash

Place in a stock pot with water enough to barely cover and place a lid on it .

Cook till tender and drain ( drain over another pot and save the liquid)

Cook dice onion in butter till soft

Puree squash either in a blender or with a mixer till smooth and creamy use reserved liquid here as needed and be careful it is hot.

Puree onion as well with some of the squash.

Add orange juice and grated ginger to squash and heat to a simmer.

I add some white wine ( reisling is very yummy) to thin it out a bit , you can add more orange juice or the reserved liquid from boiling the squas.

I also use fresh ginger , you can add the dried spice instead just taste test as you go.

No salt or pepper in mine I like the sweet taste of the squash.

Top with sour cream if you wish, some more grated ginger and yummmmmmmmmmm
