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!
