Recipe: Creamy Squash Soup

So...what's everyone doing for Mabon? We do a fruit bowl and a squash soup or casserole. This recipe is so beloved, it's in my BOS to pass down.

Creamy Squash Soup

4 cups cooked mashed butternut squash (you can substitute 2 cups of cooked mashed acorn sqash for 2 cups of the butternut)
2 cans (14 oz ea) of ready-to-serve chicken broth
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup whipping cream, divided
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Process half of the first 5 ingredients in a food processor or blender and pour into a large saucepan. Repeat with the remaining half. Bring to a boil over medium heat; gradually stir in half of the whipping cream, and cook until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Beat remaining whipping cream at high speed until stiff peaks form. Dollop on each serving of soup. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Makes about 7 cups.
