Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons margarine

  • 6 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash

  • 6 tablespoons chopped onion

  • 3 cups water

  • 4 cubes chicken bouillon

  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

Directions

  1. Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add butternut squash, water, bouillon, marjoram, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer until squash is tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Purée squash mixture and cream cheese in a blender or food processor in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan and cook until just heated through.

Recipe Tips

You can use 3 to 4 cups of chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes.

This recipe also works well with half as much cream cheese if you don't want it too rich.
