Squash Soup base - vegetarian or not
I used to not like eating squash, as I didn't like the texture. But I later on realized I liked it mashed into a soup. I prefer doing it by hand with a fork, no food processor, so it doesn't come out too pureed. It also helps the flavor combine with the onions and garlic.
Below is my squash soup base. Many variations can be made to it, vegetarian or with cream or meat- I listed some in the last step. :)

In a sauce pan, place your squash, sliced into small pieces so it's easy to mash. Add onions, garlic and enough water to cover all the squash (don't place too much). Boil covered for 15 mins

Once soft, lower heat and mash everything while in the pot. Season with salt and 1/4 of a stock cube (crushed to powder so it's easy to mix).

When the squash is mashed, it gets thicker and absorbs the liquid. Taste and adjust preferred consistency accordingly by adding water a teaspoon at a time. Serve while hot.

I enjoy this soup base on its own without any additions but sometimes I do variations too. Some non-veg ideas: // Add light cream or coconut cream // Add meat (shredded chicken, bacon or ham) // Add diced potatoes for a more filling soup // Add veggies like diced celery, corn kernels or peas
