Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock

  • 1 cup carrot, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 1 medium (about 3–4 lbs) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced

  • 1 cup big diced yellow potatoes

  • 2 stalks of celery roughly chopped

  • 1/2 tsp ground fennel

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

  • Combine your ingredients (minus the cream, butter, and parmesan) in a medium stockpot.
  • Cook until the butternut squash can be easily mashed with a fork, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Or you can transfer the soup in two batches to a traditional blender and puree it there. (Just be extremely careful blending hot liquids; you do not want the blender to be too full.
  • Strain it into a pot, and add butter, cream, and parmesan cheese.
  • Taste and season. Add extra salt and pepper, if needed, to taste.
