Fall Squash Soup
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 small turnip, peeled and diced
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat until just bubbling and beginning to smell nutty, 1 to 3 minutes. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook until onion is soft and translucent, another 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic directly to the bottom of the pot and cook for about 1 minute before stirring; be careful to prevent burning. Add chicken stock, butternut squash, turnip, and sweet potato and bring to a boil. Cover pot and simmer soup until sweet potato is fork tender, about 40 minutes.
- Puree soup using a stick blender to desired consistency. Season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
