Ingredients serve 6 - 8

•  6 tbsp chopped onion
•  4 tbsp margarine
•  2 peeled and cubed butternut squash
•  1.5 ltrs water
•  4 cubes chicken bouillon
•  1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
•  1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•  1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
•  2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

Method

1.  In a large saucepan, sauté onions in margarine until tender. Add squash, water, bouillon, marjoram, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to boil; cook 20 minutes, or until squash is tender

2.  Puree squash and cream cheese in a blender or food processor in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan, and heat through. Do not allow to boil or the soup will split.

3.  Delicious and very easy to make. You can use chicken stock instead of the water and bouillon cubes. Also works well with half as much cream cheese if you don't want it too rich."
