How to Make Angie's Creamy Squash Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 3 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed, on a baking sheet with 1/2 cup water. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Let the squash cool slightly, then scoop the flesh from the peel and mash with a potato masher or fork.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup carrots (diced), and 1 cup potatoes (diced). Sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth or chicken stock.
  6. Add the mashed squash to the saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Carefully ladle the soup mixture into a blender (working in batches if necessary). Puree until completely smooth and creamy. Transfer to a large bowl.
  8. Repeat steps 7 until all of the soup is pureed.
  9. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan. Heat gently, stirring in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional).
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a tablespoon of sour cream for garnish.
  11. Enjoy your delicious homemade creamy squash soup!
