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.

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?
