Before starting to cook: Boil the gem squash till tender. Let cool.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of gem squash peeled and cut into cubes
• 2 cups of evaporated milk
• 1 cube of vegetable bouillon (optional)
• 2 cup of water
• 2 teaspoons of butter
• 1 small red onion

• Salt

Preparation:

1. In a shallow pan heat the butter. Sauté the onion and parsley until they become tender adding a pinch of salt to it. Put the squash, and the rest of the ingredients in a blender. Blend well. Re-heat at medium heat. Stir regularly to avoid excessive sticking. Adjust salt to taste. When it has reached a creamy consistency turn off the heat and serve immediately.

Guys!!! I am going to attemp this soup for thanksgiving here in NYC, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'll let u know how it turns out.

Ok let me try posting this comment for a second time.

Ok so I made the delicious cream of squash and it was a hit, everyone loved it.
I made enough for like 15 people, of course just as a starter. I used less cream since i'm not crazy about too much cream and used chicken cube instead of veg cube but I guess you can just season with salt.

I served it in this beautiful cream colored pumpkin shaped serving dish it was beautiful.

thanks.

Did you have to boil the squash first?

Well, you can't go wrong with ginger and coconut. I must try this.

Are you supposed to put the squash and other ingredients in the blender raw? The dirx don't say anything about cooking before putting it in the blender, but it does say reheat...so... what's step 1?
