butternut squash and spicy sausage soup


i've been a huge fan of this soup for years now, so it's about time i post a recipe of sorts. this soups tastes like fall. it's based on this recipe.


gather the supplies. butternut squash, chicken broth, potatoes, corn, sausage, cream, onion, olive oil, salt & pepper.


cut squash, scoop out seeds and put it in a pan w/ some water. bake it until mushy.


scoop out the goodness


chop your onion and sausage into bite-size pieces


saute them in a little bit of olive oil


toss in the corn and potatoes and cook a bit more


puree the squishy squash and the chicken broth


stir it in with your sausage/onion/potato/corn mixture. season with salt and pepper - lots of pepper. let it cook for a little bit (especially if you use fresh potatoes). i'm too impatient to let it cook very long.


 add about 1/2 c. of heavy whipping cream and enjoy!
