I have been meaning to make this soup for a long while. Its winter and its not a surprise that almost many have been blessed with an uninvited guest named ‘common cold’. We have been no exception and so warm bowl of soup always helps.
I added a fair share of garlic to help relieve the uncommonly red noses. Though it takes a while to cook, the preparation time is not lengthy.
Method
1.Heat a shallow pan, add butter and then saute onions till soft. Add garlic and saute for a min more.
2.Add the squash, sprinkle salt , saute for a min.
Then close the pan with the lid and cook till squash is slightly tender. aprrox 10min.
3.Add 3 cups of water, close the lid and let it come to a boil. Approx 10min.
4.Let it cool slightly and then puree it till creamy.
5.Heat it again and then add milk and cumin-coriander powder along with pepper. Stir it well for another 5 min.
6.Serve it hot with generous sprinkle of pepper. Good one for chasing away the winter blues.

I love butternut squash soups! Never made one with lots of garlic, so this could be a nice idea
For the last one, I had butternut squash + sweet potatoes + a lot of scallions. They’re so versatile and delicious!
Thanks for submitting this to the FPOM event!
Soup looks so great. I don’t know if I am supposed to eat Squash as I am pregnant.
