Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Blue Hubbard Squash Approximately 10-20 pounds
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Black Truffle Oil
  • 1 small Black Truffle Approximately golf ball size or smaller
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 medium Onion Chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Carefully open the Blue Hubbard Squash. Options include throwing it from a height onto concrete, cleaving it with an axe, or (not recommended) using a chainsaw.
  • Scoop out the flesh and remove the seeds.
  • Cut the squash flesh into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the cubed squash and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is very tender.
  • Carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender or in a regular blender (in batches).
  • Stir in the heavy cream and truffle oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Shave or grate the black truffle over the soup before serving.
