Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 pounds carrot cut into rounds, about 8 large carrots
- 1/2 onion chopped, medium
- 2 celery chopped, sticks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 Italian seasoning dashes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your squash and carrots. To peel the squash I cut it into quarters (or smaller if needed) and then peel each piece using a potato peeler. Chop the onion and celery.
- Melt the butter and olive oil on medium heat in a large pot.
- Add the onion and celery to the pot, cook for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring often, until softened.
- Add the vegetable broth, water, squash, carrots, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the pot.
- Bring soup to a boil and then cover it with the lid slightly ajar, and simmer on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes or until the veggies are softened (it may take more or less time depending on how small you chopped them).
- Working in batches, blend the soup until it's smooth. I recommend letting it cool for at least 15 minutes prior to doing this. You could also use a stick blender, but I prefer the results with a regular blender.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste and serve immediately. Can be stored in the fridge for several days or frozen for 3 months. I like to serve this soup with snipped fresh chives (optional).
Notes
- Serves 4-6.
