Ingredients
  • 8 cup butternut squash
  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced
  • 1/2 quart heavy cream
  • 1/2 quart water
  • salt, to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place butternut squash in an ovenproof container with butter, honey, ¼ cup of water, and salt. Cover with foil and place in oven for 45 minutes or until squash is fully cooked. While the squash is cooking, sweat the onions in a pot on the stove by constantly stirring. Once onions are caramelized, add the squash to the pot with all the liquid. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes. Blend until smooth. Add water if needed.
