Creamy Squash Soup

This is a Paula Deen recipe, and it's really yummy! Devin really doesn't like squash but liked this soup, so give it a try sometime!!! Also, it's a very inexpensive meal:)

Ingredients
2 pounds butternut squash, halved, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces (apparently you can buy cubed squash at Costco, which would make things easier)
1 1/2 cups diced onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced
3 (13 3/4-ounce) cans chicken broth (I used chicken stock, I just think it has more flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I also used more salt than this)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup light cream or heavy cream
Sour cream, for garnish


Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine squash, onion, carrots, broth and salt. Simmer, uncovered, until squash is very tender, about 40 minutes. Puree soup in a blender or food processor with the butter. Whisk cream into soup. Serve in wide, shallow bowls with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

I think this would be really good garnished with either chives or green onions. And served with garlic bread......just a suggestion!
