Hearty Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

This wholesome and hearty butternut squash soup is a wonderful winter food. Perfect for the cooler weather. It could also make a great starter for a dinner recipe. It is quite filling so the recipe feeds 3 but for a dinner starter I would say up to 6 people since you would use less. It is a healthy and nutrient packed tasty treat. Guilt free!

Servings 3 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and chopped
  • 1 small celery stalk washed and chopped
  • 2 dashes cracked black pepper
  • 2 dashes salt
  • 6 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a large pot. Add in the onion, carrot, sweet potato, celery and squash.

  2. Cook over a medium-low heat until golden brown (around 5 mins). Add in the chicken stock until all veg is covered. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

  3. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for around 45 mins. Remove from the heat once the vegetables are cooked. Add another dash of salt and pepper.

  4. Use a hand blender to create the desired texture. We have different preferences in our house so I normally do half chunky and the rest pulped. Up to you!

  5. Serve hot with some nice baguette or similar bread. Garlic bread is ideal!

  6. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
