1 tablespoon butter

2 large onions, finely chopped

1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

1 clove elephant garlic, chopped

2 cups chicken stock

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 (3 1/2) pound butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch cubes

1 cup water

6 tablespoons cream, or to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, jalapeno, and elephant garlic and cook until onions are soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice until well mixed. Add butternut squash and water; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until squash is tender and soup is thick, about 1 hour. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.

Ladle hot soup into bowls and swirl cream in the center of each bowl just before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can substitute 3 regular garlic cloves for the elephant garlic.
