Squash Soup

Another soup that will warm you up is made from Butternut squash. This one is from my garden grown last summer. First it is chopped in half and peeled:p1210888

The remaining lower half is saved for another meal. Slice the top portion into rings and then into smaller wedges.

Chop half an onion and all the rings:

Fry onions until soft and assemble the spices: Bragg Organic Sprinkles (mixed blend of 24 spices and herbs), ginger paste, and 2 teaspoons of chicken broth concentrate (or 2 quarts of the real thing):

Toss everything on top of the onions, add enough water or stock to cover:

Put a lid on it and simmer for 2 hours…then like most blender soups, after cooking, pour contents into the blender and whizz until smooth. Add additional water/broth if needed and for the added special touch…toss in 2 tablespoons of sugar free pancake syrup and enjoy! For those who want it creamier, add half and half/cream to suit.
