Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Peel and dice the butternut squash, onion, potatoes, carrots, and chop the celery.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

3. 3

   Cook the Squash and Potatoes

   Add the diced butternut squash and potatoes to the pot. Stir in the fresh thyme and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender.

6. 6

   Season and Serve

   Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
