Butternut squash Consomme (clear intensely flavored broth)

Butternut Squash Consomme, super healthy and super easy.

I like to serve this in Saki cups like these.  A great amus bouche (and vegan too)

 Peel and cube 1/2 of a small butternut squash.  Boil in 1 can of vegetable stock (fat free and salt free)  for 4-5 minutes until soft enough to mash. Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon and save for use in other recipes, and use the liquid for consomme (*just strain with a fine mesh strainer {picture below}, and serve warm-so so good-a vegan treat too) I prefer to use a Cuisinart to blend up, but you can mash by hand if you prefer, just get it smooth, and no lumps if by hand. 

Pour through a Fine Mesh strainer for remaining liquid

                                          to become a  pure consomme.  If you don't have one, it's still good as it is.
