Butternut Squash Soup

It's been a rainy year out here in California. Whenever it rains I crave comfort foods, specifically soups and stews. I decided to make some home made butternut squash soup this week. It's easy to make but does take some time so make sure you set aside an hour

Ingredients

2 Carrots

1 Yellow Onion

2 Sticks of Celery

5 Cloves of Garlic

1 Butternut Squash

Cream

4 Stems of Thyme

1 Stem of Rosemary

Cayenne Pepper

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Slice the two carrots.

3. Slice 2 sticks of celery.

4. Chop the onion into chunks.

5. Cut butternut squash into 1 inch cubes.

6. Take the leaves off of the 4 thyme sprigs and the 1 rosemary sprig.

7. Place onions, celery, squash, garlic, rosemary and thyme on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Then sprinkle with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Bake for 60 minutes.

8. Put the veggies into a pot and puree with a hand blender or you can use a blender/cuisinart.

9. Add in some cream if it's looking too thick (or you can use vegetable or chicken broth). Then heat for a few minutes and serve and enjoy.
