 Butternut Squash Soup
This recipe comes from my restaurant, Nina's, and is one of the easiest, healthiest soups I know. It's yummy creaminess and wholesome flavors screams fall to me.
Rough chop the following:
1 large butternut squash
2 large carrots
2 celery stalks
2 medium potatoes
1 medium sweet potato
1 large onion
2-3 good-sized cloves of garlic

Bring to a boil in large stockpot with just enough water to cover.

When veggies are tender puree using immersion blender. If you're using a food processor or blender, let cool a bit firts.

Season with salt and pepper.

 

You could add a little sour cream or creme fraiche or some pepitas as pictured. This is a great base and is delicous and healthy all by itself, but you can play with the flavors. Add cumin and chili powder for a little Latino zest, curry for some Indian zip or replace the some of the water with coconut milk for a taste of Thai. It still stays vegan, low-fat and incredibly yummy. Your imagination is the limit.
