Cedar Plank Butternut Squash Soup

This is incredible soup! Plank roasting the squash, garlic and onions before putting them in the soup pot gives this soup an awesome and unique smoky flavor. The richness comes from the potatoes (no cream needed) and the kick comes from the rub.

Number of Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:

2 sm. or 1 lrg. cedar plank 1 large onion sliced 3 C. Orange juice 1 butternut squash 3 tbsp. olive oil 3 cloves of crushed garlic

6 c. chick broth 3 C. Orange juice 1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme 2 peeled & diced potatoes 2 tbsp. BBQ Rub

Instructions:
Peel and slice a large butternut squash into 1-inch thick - long chuncks. Slice the onion and drizzle with olive oil and crushed garlic. Place these veggies on the Tasty Timber Grilling Plank on grill and cook on a medium heat for 30-45 min. or until squash is tender (take the onions off earlier if they are softened first. Let cool and place plank cooked veggies into a large soup pot, add 2 tbsp olive oil and sauté for 3 min over med. heat then add 2 peeled and diced potatoes, add the chopped fresh thyme, orange juice, chick broth, and your favorite BBQ rub (or try this great rub): 1/4 C Paprika, 1 tbs. each of: chili powder, salt, coriander, garlic powder, sugar, curry powder, dry mustard, and black pepper; add one tsp. each of ground basil, thyme, cumin & cayenne; place all spices in a food processor for 30 seconds.)
