Buttercup Squash Soup

Buttercup Squash Soup
  • 1 large buttercup squash, halved and seeded
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place squash cut-side down in a baking dish; fill with 1/4 inch of water.
  2. Bake squash in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.
  3. Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until tender, about 10 minutes.
