Forgot to mention that I poked the whole squash with a few pricks and microwaved on high for 10 mins. until soft. Cut it in half, scooped out seeds and added cooked squash to pot. This saves lots of time peeling, etc. -
This soup was delicious! It was quick after I peeled and cut up the squash, a process similar to peeling and cutting up a granite boulder. Next time, I am going to bake the squash in the oven until it is partially cooked and then peel it and dice it to add to the broth.

This was so simple to start with and I had to make it even easier. I peeled and seeded the butternut squash and threw it in the food processor!Then continue'd..After I pureed it in the blender, I tried one more thing...I added a little cream (1 tablespoon to the whole batch..only 50 calories and 5 grams of fat). It still will be low fat and low calories and rich, as if you are cheating.

My family and I LOVE this soup!!! My husband, who is "anti-any kind of sqash" requests it regularly. We buy a 2 pound container of peeled and cubed butternut squash at Costco for $5 and put the whole thing into the stockpot with 4 cups of chicken broth and TONS of dried sage from my mother's garden. After I use the stick blender, I always add a can of washed black beans. It adds a little something and makes the soup stick to your ribs a bit more. ;-) Quick, healthy and absolutely FABULOUS!!!! Thanks for posting!!

This soup was very yummy! I liIked it better than my hubby, but he only likes squash because we grew it so it's cheap! :O) I made it as posted except I microwaved the squash whole for 10 minutes, then peeled and cubed it. Made it much easier!! Also used veggie-chicken broth. I forgot to try adding ginger, so will have to do that next time. Thanks so much for sharing!! :O)
