Get into soup season with a delicious butternut squash soup from AllRecipes:

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 1 stalk celery, chopped

• 1 medium carrot, chopped

• 2 medium potatoes, cubed

• 1 medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed

• 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and cook onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover vegetables.

2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.

3. Transfer soup to a blender and process until smooth. Return to the pot and mix in any remaining stock to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Serve and enjoy!
