Ingredients

3 Tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup chopped sweet onion
2 garlic cloves chopped
4 medium yellow squash ends removed and chopped
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
2 cups chicken broth vegetable broth
2 Tablespoon heavy cream
Pepper to taste optional

Instructions

Melt butter in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onions have softened.
Add squash, thyme, nutmeg and salt and stir and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add broth and increase the heat to medium high and bring mixture to a boil. Allow mixture to boil for about 10 minutes, until squash is softened.
Remove from heat and add contents to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Add in heavy cream. (Salt and pepper to taste)
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Please be careful when blending hot soups. Ensure your blender is capable of blending hot soups and don’t fill the blender more than halfway.
An immersion blender can also be used. I find the soups to be a little more creamy when a standing blender is used.
Use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth if you prefer.
