Butternut Squash Soup II Recipe

absando — Sun, 08 May 2011 14:50:35 +0000

I’ve been having Gastritis lately so I’m quite limited in the kind of food I can eat. No salt, no spice, no fat, can be a real challenge to taste buds. Squash soup is great, with flavors, salt and pepper is really just an option.

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1 medium butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt the butter in a large pot, and cook the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
Transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to pot, and mix in any remaining stock to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
