Butternut Squash Soup

It's fall so that means it's soup season!

I usually make at least a pot or two a week. My current favourite is butternut squash. This soup has it all...it's tasty, filling and really healthy. Once you have the chopping done it comes together quickly. Add a sandwich or salad for an easy dinner.

Top with a spoonful of sour cream and a few pumpkin seeds and serve as a starter for your next dinner party, Thanksgiving or Christmas

 

Butternut Squash Soup

Chop:

1 small onion

1 butternut squash

1 apple

2 carrots

1 potato

1 sweet potato

In a large, heavy pot saute the onion on low heat until soft.

Add the remaining chopped ingredients.

Cover the vegetables with about 6 cups of chicken stock.

Add salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Puree with a hand blender.

Taste and add more salt if needed.

For a creamier soup add a few tablespoons of cream or milk.

Garnish with a spoonful of sour cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.

Enjoy!
