Well...here it is ,my third installment in the Panera Clone Chronicles!!!
One thing I like about these(esp if you tried the potato one and have ever actually eaten at the restaurant)the clones are EVEN BETTER than the originals!!!
Butternut squash is NEVER a simple thing to work with it...but if you like them then you know they are worth the effort...and so is this soup...


2 Tbs unsalted butter
1 small onion,minced
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 small butternut squash, chopped
6 1/3 c chicken stock (50.4 ounces)
1 1/4 c heavy cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 c chopped walnuts
Hot pepper sauce
Over low saute onion and rosemary in butter and cook til soft (5 min).

Add chopped squash, chicken stock, heavy cream, salt, white pepper and hot sauce. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 2 hours - til squash is tender.

Use blender to puree the hot soup.

Toast walnuts to use for garnish.

Serve in a bread bowl.
