Butternut squash soup

For my cousin Janet, here is the butternut squash soup recipe.
This recipe came about because we had a ham bone and made some stock with it. No peas in the house that day but I had a butternut squash so I roasted it up instead,

 1-2 butternut squash cleaned
drizzle with olive oil
salt,pepper
fresh nutmeg  (use a rasp) you only need a sprinkle on each half

Bake for about 30 mins in a 350 degree oven until soft

let cool for 30 mins scoop into a soup pot
add 4 cups of stock mix together
I put it in the blender to make smooth (put back in the soup pot)
add 1 1/2 cups of chopped up ham into soup pot

add salt pepper to taste.
we add a little cayenne to ours

Garnish
fresh salsa

2 fresh tomatoes  chopped
1 mango chopped
1 avocado cubed
1 green onion chopped or 1/8 c of red onion chopped
1/2 jalapeno minced
small amount of cilantro chopped fine
juice from 1 lime

put all together in 1 bowl and mix  put in the fridge

I add a tbsp of sour cream in the center of the bowl of soup and add salsa on top.

Enjoy
