Fall Soup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 onions (cleaned and cut into chunks)
- 5 carrots (cleaned and cut into chunks)
- 2 cups butternut squash (cleaned and cut into chunks)
- 3 apples (washed and cut into chunks)
- 2 yellow zucchini (cleaned and cut into chunks)
- 4 garlic cloves diced
- 2 small sweet potatoes (cleaned and cut into chunks)
- 2 (15-ounce) cans organic pumpkin
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 3" peeled fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Heat up the oil in a large soup pot and sauté the onions.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and apples, except for the canned pumpkin and continue to sauté on medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Fill the pot 3/4 full with water (or prepared vegetable broth) and add the seasonings and the canned pumpkin. Bring to a boil. Drop the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for one hour. Turn off the heat.
- Using a handheld blender, process everything in the pot until smooth.
- Optional: Garnish each soup bowl with chopped herbs, quinoa, scallions, rice, or croutons. I sometimes add a soup spoon of Greek yogurt in the middle of a single serving.
