Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium or 1 large squash

1 C oil

5 Cups chicken broth

1 jalapeno pepper

Salt and pepper

The directions here are pretty simple.  You peel and cut the squash into 1 inch cubes to make about 5 cups worth.  Then brown 1 cup of squash in the oil.

In a large pot add all the squash along with 5 cups of chicken broth.  Then slice one small jalapeno pepper to give it a little added zing or spice – this makes the soup really exceptional and stand out. 

Boil all the ingredients in the pot until soft, then put it in a blender to purée.  Follow this by seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste and then enjoy.  This is a great soup served either hot or cold.

You can also make this soup a great anti-cold or anti-flu remedy by adding some garlic (either ground or fresh) to the soup before serving.  I’ve used this remedy myself to weather many a nasty flu bug or cold.  If you didn’t know already, garlic has great anti-cold and anti-flu properties and has been proven through medical science and research to be extremely effective in fighting off viruses like the flu and even H1N1.  Soups are also great to have when you’re sick with or without the garlic.  The garlic just tends to help that much more.
