Savory Squash Soup

Here is one of my favorite fall recipes, using in season ingredients to help warm up your soul.

  • 1 medium butternut squash or 2 smaller acorn squash
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 zucchini (peeled)
  • 2 tbs butter or olive oil (vegan option)
  • Salt, pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp turmeric (optional)
  • Parsley (optional)

Preparation time: 50 mins

  1. Roast the squash (cut in half, remove the seeds, bake in the oven with the cut side down, for ~40 mins at 350F, make sure the pan is well oiled). Remove, let it cool off and peel off, then slice in 1 in pieces.
  2. While the squash is roasting, chop the rest of the veggies. Melt the butter/ heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion, celery, carrot and zucchini for 5 mins. Make sure you stir often.
  3. Add enough water to cover vegetables, about 3-4 cups. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, add spices and simmer 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the roasted squash, simmer another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from the burner, then use a hand (immersed) blender to puree everything (or use a masher. Make sure you do not get any hot splatters.
  6. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Enjoy!
