BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURMERIC SOUP
With all the talk about how good turmeric is for you and the fact that I LOVE butternut squash, when I saw this recipe on the internet knew I had to try it. While I posted the recipe as I found it I did tweak it a little myself. Once removed from broth, I used an immersion blender instead of food processor (thought it was easier) and at the very end added just about 1/4 cup of warmed heavy cream for creaminess. Wonderful

Steps:
- Peel the squash and cut into large chunks.
- In a medium size pot, add the squash, water and remaining ingredients. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the squash is fork tender.
- Using a serving size spoon or scoop, collect all the squash chunks as well as the other ingredients and add to a blender cup. Don't collect any of the liquid, only what comes in the scoop along with the ingredients. Reserve the broth for another soup base, or chicken base. Because the butternut squash contains a lot of liquid, you will not need to add any extra from the broth, although the broth is a tasty base for other recipes.
- Blend in high speed for about 45 seconds. I used a Vitamix. Depending on your machine you may need to blend for a little longer, until smooth.
- Serve hot with your choice of topping. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.

- To make the soup vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter.

- Garnish the soup with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives.
