Soup's On! Saturday: Happy Fall Squash Soup

Sorry I am so late -- just in case droves of you were all lined up to post your link. I am working on my pantry for Pantry Raid "after" pictures for Monday and lost track of time.

You can read about Soup's On! Saturday here.

My soup for today used some of the chicken broth I posted about last week. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I did.

Happy Fall Squash Soup

1 squash of your choice (I used acorn squash), cooked and pureed
1/2 brick cream cheese
about 6 cups chicken broth (more or less to desired thickness. Can also thicken first with flour or cornstarch)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt to taste

Heat all together until it is hot and cheese is melted. Serve with toasted pecans, cilantro and sour cream on top. I also added cabbage cut very small and some chicken pieces.

OOOH!
This sounds really good and simple!
I think I'll have to do this tonight.

:D

Wait.
Can you give me a guesstimate of how many cups of pureed squash?
I'm working with 3 more 25 lb pumpkins here, and I somehow think that even one of them would produce just a little too much for the proportions of the rest of the ingredients.

I'd guess you could use up to a good 4 cups or maybe a little more. I think I'd add several cups and taste it and see if I wanted more or not:)I am posting a recipe specifically for pumpkin next week I think.
