Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Becel® Buttery Taste margarine
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) five spice powder
  • 8 cups (2 L) butternut squash (about 1 large), peeled, seeded and diced

Directions

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot set over medium heat, melt the margarine. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until softened for about 7 minutes.

  4. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 30 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar.
