Organic Butternut Squash Soup

So this past grocery haul was my favorite so far! We bought so many beautiful vegetables that I have never cooked with before. One of them being Butternut Squash which was tonight's dinner, and turned out amazing! It was a little time consuming but I would suggest you prep all of your vegetables before you begin cooking. You will also need an emulsifier blender, I bought mine a while ago as a hand held mixer with interchangeable heads, and the second head is an emulsifier. I think you could use a blender but it could get messy.
Ingredients:
preferably organic
1 medium to large Butternut squash, peeled and chopped into small pieces, the smaller the better
1 large onion, diced
8-10 baby bells, sliced
5-6 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 cups spinach
32 oz broth, preferable vegetable, I made mine from boiled onion and garlic skins
salt and pepper if you'd like

If you have everything prepped this will be super easy to do, I know because I did not prep and it probably took me twice as long to make. 

1) Saute your onions and mushrooms in butter or oil and set aside. I prefer butter's flavor in this recipe.
2) Saute your squash and garlic until soft, I used a lid so the steam could help the cooking process.
3) set broth to simmer and add squash, emulsify until there are no chunks left. 
4) Add in spinach, mushrooms and onions.

Enjoy a healthy, delicious, and filling vegetarian recipe. I promise made from scratch can be easy! make sure you sign up for the email updates at the top of the page! I will be cooking with rainbow chard and golden beets later this week! 
Thanks for reading, until next time,
