The One

Our coworker Joanne often describes things as "the one." This cake is "the one," this curry is "the one," this guy at the gym is "the one," and so on.

Well, this butternut squash soup (from All Recipes) is "THE ONE."

We made about half of the recipe, but altered it slightly (based on the comments and what we had).
  • Half a large onion, chopped up real nice
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 4 cups butternut squash
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • (didn't have marjoram)
  • several grinds of black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Approx 2 oz low-fat cream cheese (which is much less than the original recipe calls for)
We followed the cooking instructions and pureed in the blender. It was AMAZING. Better than any I've had at a restaurant and it couldn't have been easier. It gives new meaning to "the one."
