1 ½ cups chicken stock
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into bite-size cubes
½ small red onion, sliced
3 tablespoons orange-flavored dried cranberries

Steps:

Bring chicken stock, butternut squash, red onion, and cranberries to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain.
