Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion (diced)
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and diced)

• 1 tablespoon
• Sugar, salt, and black pepper to taste
• 1 cup sour cream

Directions

1. Sauté onion, ginger and jalapeno in butter in a large pot. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
