Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash
2 tablespoons of margarine (I like earth balance margarine)
1 tablespoons of minced onion (1 small onion = 1 minced minced onion)
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 cup of vegetable broth
1/2 cup of soy milk (or you could use coconut milk to may make it sweeter)
Salt and Pepper to taste (I like to use sea salt and fresh ground pepper)
Directions:
Cut the squash lengthwise (in half), remove the seeds and strings
Put the 2 squash pieces back together and seal in plastic wrap
Microwave the sealed squash on High for 8-10 minutes until tender
Let stand for 5-10 minutes to cool
Lightly saute the onions in the margarine, careful not to burn
Using a large spoon, scrape the squash out of the shell and discard the peel
Use a food processor or blender to puree everything together ,*except the soy milk, salt and pepper*, until smooth
Transfer puree mixture to a sauce pan, add the *soy milk*, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (do not boil)
*Salt and pepper* to taste. This goes well with crackers or french onion bread
Enjoy!

Here's the food processor I use to puree foods. It works great!
Living in the northeast, Fall is my favorite time of year! The temperature is usually between 60 -70 degrees, and the Autumn scenery is just beautiful! As a reminder for why fall leaves change color, here's a useful site called sciencemadesimple.com that has the answers.
What's your favorite Season?
