  • Yield: 6 Servings
60 20 80

Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash (about 1-3/4 pounds)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • CILANTO CREAM TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  • Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a greased or foil-lined baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 40-50 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, scoop out pulp; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the flour, salt, curry powder and cayenne until blended. Stir in broth. Add bay leaf. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a blender, combine half of the broth mixture and squash; cover and process until smooth. Repeat with remaining broth mixture and squash. Return to the saucepan; heat through. Combine the topping ingredients; place a dollop on each serving. Yield: 6 servings.
