squash soups are some of my favorites.
butternut squash/kabocha soup (shredded chicken and/or cream optional)
1 butternut squash OR 1 kabocha, <1in. cubes with skin
2 leeks, thin discs, white part only
1 onion, small dice
6 cups chicken stock/bouillon (might need to add salt later)
cracked black pepper
sweat the onion and leeks in olive oil or butter on medium low heat until it's all translucent.
add the squash and stock, bring to boil, then down to simmer for 20 minutes or so.
pepper and salt. shredded chicken and/or cream if you prefer
don't puree this. the chicken-squash broth is to die for and is ruined by mushed squash, if you ask me. so is the texture of melty leeks.
