Butter nut Squash soup

The Fall flavors are all around us. Why not enjoy some.

Smoked Butternut Squash Soup
1 Butternut squash medium sized
4 Cups of chicken stock
1 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tbsp
 White Pepper
1/4 Cup Heavy cream
2 Tbsp. Butter
Pinch of Nutmeg



Get the grill going, ideally around 200-250 degrees. Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Rub with butter and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Smoke for about 2-3 hours. The squash will have beautiful color and will be very soft. Pull off squash and let rest for 20 minutes.
 While it rests heat the stock to a simmer in a large soup pan. Scoop out cooled squash with a spoon into pot. Blend until smooth then add cream and butter stir well and allow it to simmer while you season with salt pepper and a pinch of nutmeg to taste.

Serve and enjoy!
