Mmmm...Mmmm....Good!

My niece posted a soup recipe and asked for more ideas to be posted so here is mine.  This is a recipe for butternut squash soup.  It's really easy, fast, nutritious and most important, yummy! It's nice to do a vegetarian meal now and then and this one fills you up and is perfect for a cool Fall day.  (still waiting for the cool Fall day:)

Ingredients:

2 lbs. butternut squash, cut into cubes                                               

1 pkg. baby carrots

1 yellow onion, cut up into cubes

2 cups chicken broth

2 T. butter

1 pinch nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 c. heavy cream (optional)

It's especially easy when you stop at "Fresh and Easy" for pre-cut squash and baby carrots:)

Put all the vegetables and broth in one pot, bring to boil and simmer 'til veggies are tender.

Once tender  blend till smooth w/the butter

Add cream and blend, if you want. (it's still great w/o the cream)

And there's dinner! (bread bowls available @ bread basket:)
