Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup





In my current state of being a temporary vegetarian I decided to make a new soup last night.  Yum!  The nutmeg gave it a very distinct flavor so if you don't like that taste I would omit it.
Start by cooking your veggies with butter for 8 minutes


Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, and simmer for 25 minutes

Puree in a blender 1/3 at a time.  Be careful not to overfill the blender!

eat.  yum.
Recipie:

3 cups peeled, diced butternut squash
2 cups sliced carrots
1 tablespoon butter
2 14 ounce cans of chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup half and half or light cream

In a large covered pan cook squash, carrots and butter over medium heat for 8 minutes.  Stir occasionally.  Add chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.  Simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until veggies are soft.

Blend 1/3 of the mixture at a time and return to the pot.  Add pepper, nutmeg, and cream and heat through.
