"Okay, before you turn up your nose, just hear me out :) Butternut soup always tastes a little too sweet for me, so today I tried adding a turnip. That turnip was the perfect complement, and now my soup tastes just right. For me at least!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.

Step 2

Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.

Step 3

Add a bit of salt at each stage of the recipe, then a bit more at the end if needed. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.

Step 4

Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.

Step 5

Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.

Step 6

Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.

Step 7

Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.

Step 8

Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.

Step 9

Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

Tips


  • I use a 4 quart pan with lid for the vegetables and a 3 quart pan without lid for the roux.
