The addition of mushrooms and chives with a touch cayenne make this soup spectacular!

Ingredients:

2 lbs butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks
4 cups low-sodium, low-fat vegetable broth
1 1/4 cup non-fat sour cream
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp cayenne, or to taste
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chives, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:

1	Combine the squash and vegetable broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the squash is very tender.
2	Let cool, and then puree the mixture in a blender. (You may prepare the recipe in advance up to this point; you can keep the mixture refrigerated in a covered container for up to 2 days.)
3	Return the puree to the saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low. Stir in the non-fat sour cream along with the butter, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.
4	Cook and stir until heated through; (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
5	Meanwhile, heat skillet over moderately high heat until very hot. Spray with cooking spray, then sauté mushrooms, stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
6	Stir in sautéed mushrooms and chives.
7	ENJOY!
