Winter Squash Soup

We love this healthy, hearty winter squash soup! It's made even better when topped with grated cheddar, fried bacon, ham, or sausage, and served with a thickly buttered slice of crusty bread. Mmm! "Scrumdidilly," as my husband would say.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 cups chicken broth (I use a GF bouillon)
  • 4 cups squash, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat oil and butter in heavy pot.

Add onion and cook until soft.

Hey! How'd those little fingers get in there?! ;-) Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until veggies are soft. Carefully add small amounts to blender. Puree the entire batch, add to new pot and warm over low heat.

Optional: Stir in fried bacon or sausage and top with grated cheese.
Enjoy!
