Ingredients:

• 4 cups chopped squash
• 6 cups of water
• 1 beef cube
• 1 medium size chopped onion
• 1 clove chopped garlic
• 1/2 cup milk (fat free for those on a diet)--I prefer putting milk than cream for nutritional value
• 2 tablespoon fat free/ lite butter
• salt and pepper to season

Process:

• Sautee garlic and onions with butter for a minute
• Add chopped squash/ pumpkin and sautee for 2 minutes
• Add water, beef cube and bring to boil until the squash/ pumpkin soft
• Mashed the squash until smooth then add milk.
• Simmer until soup is creamy, add salt and pepper to taste
• You can add crunchy bacon bits before serving (optional)
