Butternut Squash Soup

I know half of my sisters are disgusted/turning their nose up at the idea of using squash as the main ingredient or any ingredient for that matter in a meal. I promise you this is SO good, you won't even know it is squash when you taste how good this soup is. Come on, try it, you will LOVE it! Perfect time of year to make this nice, warm, fall soup!

Butternut Squash Soup

1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil
2 14 oz cans chicken broth
1 butternut squash, peeled and seeded and cut into 2 inch chunks
2 cups half and half
Salt and pepper
Sour cream
Green onions, chopped
Bacon, cooked and chopped

Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until transparent in a large pot. Add 1 can chicken broth and squash. Cover and steam until squash is tender, about 20 minutes. Blend contents together in blender. Return to pot. Add cream and chicken broth to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, green onions, and bacon sprinkled over top.
