Butternut Squash Soup


6 tablespoons chopped onion
4 tablespoons margarine
6 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
3 cups water
4 cubes chicken bullion
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

It took me about one-and-a-half butternut squashes to get the right amount of cubes.


In a large saucepan, saute onions in margarine until tender. Add squash, water, bullion, marjoram, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil; cook 20 minutes, or until squash is tender.

This is a seriously legit spice blend.



Puree squash and cream cheese in a blender or food processor in batches until smooth. 

Immersion blender to the rescue!


Return to saucepan, and heat through. Do not allow to boil.  

Served with some nice vegan seed crackers!

My Rating: 4/5 "Great flavor, great consistency. Are you feeling autumnal yet? Do you want to? Either way, eat this. It's really filling, and if you use the low-fat cream cheese it's easy on the figure as well."
