Ingredients for Butternut Squash Soup

§  2 tablespoons olive oil
§  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. Put oil large pot, and cook the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

Transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to pot, and mix in any remaining stock to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. (If you have a hand blender they work best, just blends soup in pot).
