Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup yellow onion
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups butternut squash roasted and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 can chicken broth 14.5 ounce can
  • 1 can evaporated milk 12 ounce can or 1½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup pure maple syrup only

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Roast a butternut squash at 375 degrees for 1 hour. We have a lot more about how to prepare the squash for roasting in our post.
  • Mince a small yellow onion. Measure out ½ cup.

Cooking Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to make soup. A 2½ quart saucepan is big enough. Add the minced onion and cook them down slowly on medium heat. Do not let the onions brown, but a little golden brown in the butter is perfect. (the bottom of a saucepan usually tells you how much it holds)
  • Add the mashed butternut squash, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir until combined.
  • Add the chicken broth, evaporated milk and pure maple syrup. Stir to incorporate.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • For a smoother soup, use an emulsion blender, counter blender, food processor or hand mixer. This step is not necessary. It just effects the texture, not the taste.
