SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 quart chicken stock
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large stockpot. Add the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the vegetables, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- Pour the soup into a blender, and blend until partially or completely smooth, depending on personal preference. Return soup to the stockpot, and add enough of the remaining chicken stock to reach desired consistency.
- Heat on low until soup is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve piping hot.
