Squish Squash - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb squash (butternut or banana)
1 lb yams or 1 lb sweet potato
1 lb potato
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter (or margarine)
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 cup sour cream (regular or low-fat)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule (omit if you are vegetarian)
Preparation
-
Peel squash, yams and potatoes and cut into 1 inch chunks. You should have about 4 cups total cut veggies. In a large stock pot, melt butter and saute the chopped onions until tender. Add the cut squash, yams and potatoes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and turn down to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Stir occasionally. If you notice that the broth is evaporating quickly, please add a little more. You don't need a covered boil, but you do want enough liquid to coat the bottom of the pot to prevent burning/sticking. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to combine the veggies until smooth. Add the sour cream, pepper, salt and bouillon. Blend thoroughly. The texture should be like mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
