Simple Fall Soup

Thanksgiving is just a week away!  ACK!  This little soup is very quick and would make a nice starter or an easy tummy soother for the day after.

2 cups cubed butternut squash
1 large sweet potato
2 medium potatoes
1/4 onion
2 cloves garlic
salt & pepper
fresh thyme or rosemary, optional

Peel and cube veggies.  Boil in about 4 cups of water for 30 minutes or until veggies are soft.  Puree and add additional water as necessary until soup reaches desired consistency.

Review:  
A very quick and filling soup that serves 4.  You could easily double everything for a larger group.


I hope you've enjoyed my Thanksgiving posts!  It'll be back to normal programming next week.  But coming up in December I've got some seriously awesome cookies!

  1. This is such a beautiful soup! And so easy to make too (which is always my favorite kind). Hope you are enjoying your little vacation and getting some rest? I put that in as a question because I now remember you said that you are going to be cooking for everyone. Eek. Or as you like to say, ACK. ha

  2. I am all about soup in this house. Whatever doesn't end up on the table during the week ends up as soup by the weekend. Some are more successful than others, as you might imagine... =)

  5. Thanks, Luv! It is a natural combination, really. Root vegetables and winter squash were made for each other, I think! =)
