Butternut squash is a national dish for me where I am from ... you can make it into a wonderful soup or just peeled boiled and a little bit of cinnamon and butter added. Some people like to do it in the oven, it is also nice this way.
INGREDIENTS
* 2 pounds butternut squash, cubed
* 2 onions, chopped
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 4 cups vegetable broth
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 dash ground nutmeg
* 1 dash ground cloves
* 1 dash ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large microwave safe dish combine squash, onions and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Peel squash. Stir in broth and cook on high for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until squash is tender. Puree squash, onions and broth in a food processor or blender. Add cream, salt and pepper, and microwave on high for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Flavor with nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon to taste.
