1 3 lb. butternut squash, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 c. chopped onion
3 14.5 oz. cans vegetable broth
Salt
Black pepper
Snipped fresh chives
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large shallow roasting pan combine squash, salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil; toss gently to coat. Spread squash in a single layer. Roast, uncovered, about 1 hour or until tender, stirring once.
- Meanwhile, in a 6- to 8-qt. Dutch oven heat butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add onion; cook about 20 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally.
- Add roasted squash and broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes; cool slightly.
- Transfer squash mixture in batches to a blender. Cover and blend until smooth. Return pureed mixture to Dutch oven. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. If desired, garnish each serving with chives.
