Creamy Butternut Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and cubed Butternut Squash
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 apple, peeled and cubed
- 1 sweet potato, cubed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger root
- 1 stick cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup apple cider
- 32 ounces, low salt chicken broth, divided (approximately)
Directions
- Put all ingredients with the exception of broth and cider in a large soup pot.
- Don’t worry about the size of cubed vegetables as it will all become pureed when cooked.
- Add 1 cup of the broth, stirring frequently until onions are translucent and veggies soften.
- Add broth and cider and cook until all vegetables are done.
- Puree with a hand held stick blender.
Use your own judgement regarding adding/subtracting vegetables as long as you start with butternut squash. You may want a thinner soup, just add more broth or apple cider.
