A delicious introduction to dinner.
Ingredients
  • 1 Whole butternut squash, halved and seeded

  • 1 Whole acorn squash, halved and seeded

  • 3 Tbsp butter

  • 1/4 Cup chopped sweet onion

  • 1 Quart chicken broth

  • 1/3 Cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 Teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 ground cinnamon, to taste (optional)
