Hey Steemit!

So soups. Some people love them, some don't. Even though I don't make those often sometimes I feel like having some. Today, I'd like to share a butternut squash recipe with y'all. And once again it was my very first attempt making it AND trying one. To tell you the truth, it turned out pretty good, and given the chance I'd cook it again.
My soup didn't turn out as creamy as you would expect it to be, I either should have blended it a little longer or had more chicken broth added to it, nonetheless I enjoyed it.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg butternut squash;
• 1 leek (discard the greens);
• 1 small onion;
• a couple clothes of garlic;
• a couple tb. spoons sour cream for serving;
• your favorite nuts and/or seeds for garnish;
• 1 liter chicken broth;
• spices: nutmeg, black pepper, thyme, salt, bay leaf to taste.

Directions:

Wash and peel the butternut squash, chop it, cut the onion in half. Preheat your oven to 375F and place the veggies on your baking shit, sprinkle them with your cooking oil and roast for about 20 minutes or until they get soft. You can also roast the garlic cloves, but I'd recommend to add them a little later so they don't burn.

In the meantime you can work on chopping up the leeks and getting your spices ready.

Move the leeks in your saucepan and cook them until they get golden brown. Add in the roasted vegetables and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 more minutes over a medium/low heat. Add in your seasonings.
Puree the mixture in your blender or food processor, if the one you have isn't very big, work in batches.

Enjoy!

By the way, I renamed Artax to Arctica today, I think she likes the new name ^^
