Dinner at Home

We were feeling a little under the weather and thus decided on a light dinner...

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
This was a light, slightly sweet, refreshing soup.

-1 butternut squash, halved and sprinkled with salt and pepper
-4 cans chicken broth
-4 cloves garlic
-1/2 onion, chopped

Roast the butternut squash, covered in foil in a 400 oven for about an hour. Sautee the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil in a soup pot. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until garlic is soft. Scoop the squash meat out of its skin and add to the pot. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
