Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 stalks of celery chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 3 pounds butternut squash peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 granny smith apple peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup Vermont Creamery crème fraiche
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil in a large heavy bottom pot (I used a 5.5 quart Dutch Oven) over medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until all vegetables are softened, 5-6 minutes.
  2. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add in the squash, apple, vegetable stock, salt and pepper. Put the lid on, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to medium-low, and cook until a knife inserted into a squash comes in and out easily, approximately about 20 minutes.
  4. Puree the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in a blender (like Vitamix).
  5. Ladle soup into bowls. Top it off with a dollop of creme fraiche and garnish it with parsley. Serve.

Notes

  • This Butternut Squash Soup can easily be vegan if you omit the use of creme fraiche.
