Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 (3-pound) butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise and remove seeds
3½ cups water
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Vegetarian No Chicken Base
1 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Chili Base
1 cup heavy cream
1 can (14.75-ounce) cream style corn
¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil, add 1/4 cup water to foil lined pan.

    Spray squash flesh with cooking spray and place flesh side down on prepared baking pan. Place in oven and roast until fork tender, about 1 hour. Remove squash from oven and turn over, let squash rest until cool enough to handle. With a spoon, scoop flesh from cooked squash, place in a large bowl, set aside.

    In a soup pot, heat water over medium heat. Whisk in Chile and No Chicken Bases until dissolved.
