Simple Delish Recipe: Butternut Squash Soup

• 1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 large onion
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 can white beans, rinsed
• 1 quart chicken or veggie stock
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 – 2 teaspoons chili powder (to taste)
• 1 – 2 teaspoons thyme (to taste)
• 1 – 2 teaspoons sage (to taste)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

1. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil with 1 teaspoon of each spice
2. When onions are translucent add bay leaves, squash, sweet potato, and broth until vegetables start to soften. Add salt and pepper and more spices if needed.
3. Add beans
4. When everything is cooked through, use a masher to break the soup (may still be slightly chunky)
5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

• For a hearty crunch, add steamed corn just before soup is finished cooking.

Happy Cooking!
