    List of Ingredients




    Butternut Squash Soup

    2 butternut or acorn squash, sliced in half (lengthwise; remove seeds)
    1 cup dark brown sugar
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
    2 cloves garlic
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    1/8 teaspoon star anise
    1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme
    8 cups chicken stock
    1 cup of heavy cream
    1 ounce pine nuts or pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds) for garnish

    Cooking Instructions:
    Preheat your Oster® Toaster Oven to 400 degrees.

    Place the squash flesh side up on a flat sheet pan or favorite baking pan.

    Top each half with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
    Cover the squash completely with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours or
    until very soft. (If using a microwave, cover with plastic wrap and cook on
    full power for 10-12 minutes)

    Meanwhile:

    In a large saucepan or Oster® Electric Skillet heat the canola oil on
    medium-low. Cook the onions for about 7-8 minutes or until soft; add the
    garlic, spices and thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth
    and cream, and cook for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and wait for the
    butternut to finish cooking.

    When the butternut is ready, pull it out of the oven and remove the foil.
    Using a large slotted spoon, remove the squash from the pan and place onto a
    cool work surface. Very carefully (as the squash will be hot) use a spoon to
    scoop the meat away from the skin of the squash. Place the meat from one
    full squash into the Oster® In2itive® Blender. Using a ladle, pour half of
    the broth mixture into the blender as well. Puree until smooth. Repeat the
    procedure once again.

    Serve hot topped with toasted pine nuts or pepitas.
