Squash Shoup

[pantshead]

This is sort of for stealthmuffin, but others might like it too.

1 butternut squash, peeled, gutted, and cut into chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 cube vegetable bouillon
~3/4 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste

Put the squash, onion, carrot, and bouillon in a pot with just enough water to cover them.
Boil until soft. (20 minutes, or so)
Blenderize contents of pot until very smooth. (You might need to dip out some of the water with a ladle to make it fit in the blender, but save it to add back in.)
Pour contents of blender back into pot.
Turn heat back on low, and stir in milk. Salt and pepper to taste. (We use ~2tsp salt and 1/4tsp pepper. Depends on the size of the squash.)
Serve hot, preferably with tasty bread.

Works with an immersion blender too, but if you're not careful, you'll turn your kitchen orange.
Milk could probably be omitted outright, but I'd be leery of using soymilk in its place.

More to come soon.
