Butternut Squash Soup with Cranberry Chutney & Roasted Pecans

It’s time to get out those favorite soup bowls, light the candles, and prepare a simple mixed green salad to accompany this meal.

Ingredients:

cooking spray

1/4 cup pecans, chopped

1 teaspoon margarine or butter

1 medium sweet onion, diced

2 apples, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups fat-free chicken broth

1 medium butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup lite coconut milk

1/2 cup fat-free half & half

6 tablespoons commercial cranberry chutney (finely chopped)

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

1) Sprinkle pecans evenly over surface of cookie sheet. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until pecans are toasted. Remove and set aside.

2) In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt margarine or butter over medium heat, add onions, apples, and nutmeg. Cook and stir 3 minutes.

3) Add chicken broth and squash. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer 20 minutes, until squash is very tender.

4) Process squash mixture (in 2 batches) in a food processor until smooth.

5) Return squash mixture to pot. Add coconut milk, fat-free half & half. Stir well (you can add additional chicken broth if the soup is too thick). Heat until hot.

6) Ladle into soup bowls and dollop with 1 tablespoon cranberry chutney, sprinkle with toasted pecans, and serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
