Butternut Squash Soup. This is good. One large squash makes double this recipe, about 10 cups of soup.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced carrots
4 cups butternut squash
24 oz vegetable stock
1 salt to taste
1 ground black pepper to taste
1 ground nutmeg to taste
1/2 cup lowfat milk
Directions
  1. Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the butter and oil under tender.

  2. Mix the carrots and squash into the pot. Pour in vegetable stock, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender.

  3. In a blender or food processor, puree the soup mixture until smooth. Return to the pot, and stir in the milk. Heat through, but do not boil. Serve warm with a dash of nutmeg.
