Amount Measure Ingredient Features
907.2 g butternut squash
peeled and chopped into medium dice
Camera
3E+1 ml sugar
Camera
75 ml butter

Directions

In a soup pot sweat the squash, sugar, and some salt in the butter, covered, for three minutes.

Remember sweating, as opposed to sautéing, means low heat.

We do not want to brown the butter or the squash, just soften it.

Add onion and sweat ten minutes more.

Add water and the cinnamon stick and simmer, covered, for thirty minutes.

Remove cinnamon and purée soup in a blender for at least one minute.

Then pass through a fine mesh chinois or strainer. Finish with cream, salt and white pepper to taste.

A final option is to sprinkle some nutmeg on it just before service.
