Angie's Creamy Squash Soup


This is a blend of 3 squash soup recipes that i developed into my own. hope you enjoy as much as i do. My family and friends keep asking for the recipe - so i thought i'd post it.

Steps


Bake the squash in the oven with a little water on a cookie sheet until fork tender.
Let cool & scoop flesh from peel & mash.
In a saucepan , sautee in margarine , the onions , celery , garlic , carrots & potatoes until soft.
Stir in the salt , pepper , cinnamon , and nutmeg.
Stir in the soup broth or stock.
Stir in the cooled , mashed squash & simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors mix.
Ladle the mixture into the blender and puree until smooth and creamy , then transfer to a big bowl.
Repeat until all mixture from pot has been pureed.
Return the blended soup back into the pot and reheat slowly , and stir in the cream and bourbon.
Once reheated , ladle into bowls and add a tablespoon of sour cream to garnish.
Enjoy !.
