Heat the chicken stock and add to the butternut squash & onions. Boil until the butternut is cooked then add cream. Bring back to the boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
Liquidise the soup, transfer back into the saucepan to season. Add grated parmesasn, salt & pepper to taste. Pass the soup through a soup, using the back of a ladle to push as much pulp through.
Serve in bowls and garnish with cream and fresh parmesan.
