Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large saucepan and melting some margarine over medium-low heat.
Step 2
As the margarine begins to shimmer, toss in your chopped onion and sauté it until it turns soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, add in the cubed butternut squash, along with water, chicken bouillon cubes, dried marjoram, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Step 4
Turn up the heat to medium-high and bring everything to a lively boil.
Step 5
Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about twenty minutes, or until the squash is tender and ready to shine.
Step 6
When the time is up, carefully purée the squash mixture with the cream cheese in a blender or food processor, blending in batches if needed until it’s beautifully smooth.
Step 7
Finally, pour the velvety soup back into the saucepan and warm it gently until it’s just right for serving.
Step 8
Enjoy the comforting aroma as it fills your kitchen, and get ready to savor a delicious bowl of homemade butternut squash soup!.
