Ingredients
  

  • 6 Cups Water
  • 3 Cubes Knorr Chicken Bouillon
  • 2 Lbs Butternut Squash Skinned and Cubed
  • 3 Cups Cheddar cheese Grated
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Head Broccoli Chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Squash

  • Cut the outer skin off of the squash and cut it into cubes so it will cook faster. Pour 6 cups of water into a pot and add in the chicken bouillon. 6 cups of chicken stock can be used as a replacement for the water and bouillon cubes if needed. Add the cubed squash to the water and bring it to a boil. Cook covered with a lid until the squash is soft and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Once fully cooked, blend the contents of the pot until smooth with a blender or immersion hand blender.

Make it Creamy

  • Next add in the cheese and heavy cream. Cook on low until the cheese is melted and fully combined.

Add in the Broccoli

  • At the very last, add in the broccoli. I like my broccoli to still have a little crisp to it, but you are welcome to cook the broccoli until soft. It also tastes great if the broccoli is roasted in a pan with a little oil prior to being added to the soup.
  • Serve up and enjoy while warm.
