Butternut Squash Soup

If this doesn't warm you up nothing will.  Kim's favorite soup is butternut squash and here is the recipe for you to enjoy.

INGREDIENTS:
1 peeled, seeded and chopped butternut squash
1 peeleed and quartered onion
1 peeled and quartered baking potato
1 quart of chicken broth
1/2 to 1 cup of whole milk

PREPARATION:
Preheat your over to 400 degrees.  Then, in a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, toss the butternut squash, onion and baking potato with 2 tablespoons of extra-vigfin olive oit to coat; season with salt and pepper.
Bake this until tender which normally takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour.  After it is baked transfer the vegetables and any juices to a large soup pot and add the chicken broth bringing it to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Remove from the heat and, using an immersion blender, puree untl smooth.  Stir in the milk according to the thickness you prefer and season with just a little bit more salt and pepper.

That's it.  Simple to prepare, great to eat and oh how warm your tummy will be when you finish eating this wonderfully rich and creamy soup delight.
