Instructions Instructions: *** 11-19-2009 very good, karen g made this one, don't burn the nuts! *** Levi Brown By: Tracey Seaman From: On Hand Ingredients: * 2 butternut squash (about 4 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise, seeds removed * Salt and pepper * 1 large onion, chopped * 2 ribs celery, chopped * 2 tablespoons brown sugar * 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped * 1 teaspoon chili powder * 2 cups chicken broth * 2 cups milk Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400¦. Place the squash cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake until brown on the edges and fork-tender at the thickest part, about 1 hour. 2. Meanwhile, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. 3. Melt the brown sugar and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pecans, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the nuts are toasted, about 5 minutes. Let cool. 4. Scoop the squash flesh from the skins and add to the soup pot. Add the broth and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture in the pot, over low heat, until smooth (or transfer in batches to a blender and puree). Serve in bowls, topped with the pecans.
