Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, coarsely chopped Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 can (14 ½ ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Directions In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion. Season with salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add squash, broth, and enough water (4 to 5 cups) to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until squash is tender, about 20 minutes. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree broth and vegetables until smooth. If using a blender, work in batches and fill only halfway, allowing heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid firmly with a dish towel, and blend. Transfer to a clean pot as you work. Adjust soups consistency with a little water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rate it Print
