Ingredients | Cajun Butternut Squash Soup

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

3 tablespoons butter

¼ cup chopped sweet onion

1 quart chicken broth

⅓ cup packed brown sugar

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the squash halves cut side down in a baking dish. Bake 45 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Scoop the pulp from the skins. Discard skins.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.

In a blender or food processor, blend the squash pulp, onion, broth, brown sugar, cream cheese, pepper, and cinnamon until smooth. This may be done in several batches.

Transfer the soup to a pot over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
