A whole kabocha squash was given to us as a gift. I made a kabocha squash potage because my husband requested it.
This is a staple soup, and of course it's delicious.

If you don't have a food processor or a blender, you can just use a strainer or a sieve. The sweetness and water content vary depending on the kabocha squash, so please adjust the amount of milk accordingly to make it to your preferred thickness. Using the full amount of heavy cream instead of the milk makes the soup thicker and richer. Recipe by yaburie
