There is nothing better than a bowl of rich, creamy soup on a chilly day. This copycat bourbon butternut squash soup recipe will warm you from the inside out.

1 medium onion, diced
3 tablespoons butter
6 cups butternut squash, diced, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup bourbon
5 cups chicken stock or broth
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the onions in the butter until soft in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the squash, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
Add the bourbon. Carefully light the mixture with a long-handled match and let it burn itself out.
Add the chicken stock and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cream, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
Blend the soup using a hand mixer (or let cool slightly and transfer to a blender and process until smooth). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
