I made the Butternut Squash Soup recipe which was delicious I also justified making The Pioneer Woman's onion straws I figure since the soup was basically vegetables and low sodium chicken broth we could handle them as a garnish. The pairing was fabulous! The soup is quite sweet and thick (excellent for baby food before adding the liquids :) ) and the onions were crunchy and spicy! A nice dinner for a nasty looking day. Here is my tweaked recipe:

4 Butternut squash (mine were small, but this still made a TON of soup I would probably halve it in the future)
4 cans low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 shallot minced
dash of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste


I boiled then peeled the squash then put them back in the pot with the shallot and the broth. I let them boil for 40 minutes until soft and then blended them just with a hand mixer and added the milk and spices.


here are the results!
