Butternut Squash Soup


Cooler days are upon us,
Welcome Autumn with this delicious soup. 
Hearty, nutritious 
and so easy to make.



Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash
1 onion
1 stock of celery chopped
2 carrots
2 potatoes
1 box chicken stock,
I use Campbell's 900ml.
(reduced sodium)
salt, pepper and parsley to taste.
(I add a parsnip because I
don't use salt, and parsnips
add a nice flavour)




Thick, rich soup full of flavour.



Directions:

Peel and remove seeds from the squash
(Sorry for the dark photo)



Chop up in cubes



Dice up carrots, potatoes
and  (parsnip, optional)



Celery and onion also



With 2 tbsp butter in the pot
cook the squash, onion, celery,
 carrots, potatoes and 
(parsnip, optional) for 5 minutes. 

Add the chicken stock.
Bring to a boil,
reduce heat to low,
 cover pot and simmer 40 minutes or
 until all the vegetables are tender.




With a hand blender,
or an ordinary blender,
blend until pureed.


Delicious!
