Winter Squash Puree Recipe

By Rebecca Franklin, About.com

This easy recipe lends itself to the interpretation of whatever produce you have on hand. Acorn, buttercup, and butternut squash are particularly delicious varieties to use in this puree. Try using sweet potatoes for a slightly different taste and texture.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb orange or yellow squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2/3 cup chicken stock
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Preparation:

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the squash, garlic, and chicken stock to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-14 minutes, until the squash is tender. Using a food processor, puree the garlic-squash mixture with the cream and butter; serve hot.

Makes 6 servings.
