Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 5 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash about 1 ½ pounds or 650 grams
- 5 cups packed cubed unpeeled zucchini about 1 pound or 500 grams, ends removed
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 2 cups fresh water
- 1 can cannellini beans, no salt added 13.4 ounces or 380 grams
- 1 cup grated aged hard cheese plus more to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a 5 to 6 QT pot, add olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add garlic—cook and stir for ten seconds to release its aroma.
- Stir in the vegetables. Season royally with salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of dried Rosemary. Cook and frequently stir for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the water (the water should barely cover the vegetables). Cover the pot and bring to a steady simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes and stir on occasion. You might have to lower the heat to maintain a simmer and prevent the liquid from boiling.
- Stir in the beans and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until the squash is soft. Taste the broth and season with more salt or pepper, if needed.
- Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the cheese until completely melted into the soup. With a hand mixer, puree the vegetables until you get a beautiful yellow-orange soup. Serve with extra grated cheese.

Notes
- You can also use a blender to puree the soup.
- In that case, allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before blending.
- And never fill the blender more than halfway with hot soup.
- So you'll have to work in batches.
- Cover the blender with a folded towel and hold it down while blending
- Repeat with remaining soup
- Reheat if necessary.
