    5 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 (12-oz) package frozen butternut squash purée (sometimes called winter squash; 1 1/2 cups), thawed
    2 1/2 cups water
    2 cups whole milk
    1 1/4 teaspoo

Instructions

  1. Cook onion in 3 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in squash and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.

  2. Bring water, milk, salt, and pepper to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot. Add polenta in a thin stream, whisking. Cook polenta at a bare simmer, stirring with a long-handled whisk and turning down heat as needed to prevent spattering, 5 minutes.

I found a similar version of this recipe on my favorite food blog (thanks, Orangette). Serve this delicious soup with a big hunk of San Francisco's famous sourdough bread for an awesome fall meal. I realize how cheesy that sounds but seriously, you'll love it.

Another easy, always tasty side dish for a hearty meal. By cooking the polenta in the oven, you save having to sit there and stir it forever, AND it comes out smooth and creamy from the even cooking.
