Spicy fresh ginger complements the sweet roasted winter squash and shallots in this easy recipe. Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich for a simple supper. To make this recipe easier, I used pre-cut butternut squash found in Costco. Weight watcher = 3 points Ingredients:
681 g butternut squash, cubed and peeled (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 large shallots, peeled and halved |
1 (1/2 inch) ginger, thinly sliced |
2 1/2 cups chicken broth |
fresh chives |
cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a roasting pan or jelly-roll pan; toss well. Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Cool 10 minutes.
3. Place half of squash mixture and half of broth in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan. Repeat procedure with remaining squash mixture and broth. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Top with chives and pepper, if desired.
