Soup Sunday!

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes ( I used pre-cut squash. Super Easy!)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cube chicken bouillon
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 pinch ground allspice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
  2. Use a stick blender and puree in the pot. I love my Cuisinart SmartStick® Hand Blender (life changer)
