]]> Butternut Squash is the staple produce item in our house during the fall. Yes I can hear you saying, “But you live in Florida, isn’t it summer year-round?” My response to that would be simply…”Duh!” But it’s ok even us summer-toasted Floridians can enjoy fall or at least pretend. Butternut squash soup was the first food I introduced to my boys when they were babies and they love it just the same now at the ages of 3.5 and 5. I bought the Whole 30 book this summer and immediately thumb-nailed the recipes I’d like to make and this one was the first. This is an easy recipe that can be enjoyed on its own or would compliment well with my Gorgonzola and Pear Salad. The only thing I omitted was ginger because we recently made and ate and Carrot Ginger Soup so it’s a bit played out for us right now. Floridians sit back and enjoy this soup while you open up your windows to the three degrees cooler temperature while everyone else just enjoy accordingly with your real change of weather. Happy fall to all!

Ingredients

3 tbsp. clarified butter
1/2 cup diced onion

4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper

3. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until the butternut squash is soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat.

4. In one or two batches, transfer soup to a food processor or blender and blend on high speed until smooth in texture. Return the pureed soup to the pot.

5. Heat the soup over medium-high until it thickens. Add heavy cream if you’d like to incorporate into this recipe at this time and cook for 5 more minutes .
