What's Special About This Soup?

Butternut squash is a wonderful food that is low in calories but high in many essential nutrients. One cup of butternut squash contains 17% of the Daily Value (DV) for potassium, necessary for healthy blood pressure and nerve function, which is severely lacking in the majority of American diets. It contains the entire DV for vitamin A, which is essential for immune function, regulating cell growth, as well as bone and eye health. Butternut squash is also a good source of vitamin C with one cup containing 50% of the DV.

Sweet potatoes are also high in vitamins A and C, as well as vitamin B6, which is necessary for healthy nerve and immune function. One cup of sweet potatoes contains 27% of the DV for potassium. And they contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, making them a good food for gut health.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 45

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
1 large potato diced
2 medium carrots chopped
1 medium yellow onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
6 cups vegetable broth more or less depending on desired thickness (see above link for recipe)
2 tsp dried ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
pepitas for topping optional

Instructions

Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat (if you have an instant pot, see note). Add the onion, a dash of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 more minute.
Add the butternut squash, sweet potato, potato, carrots, broth, and seasoning to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 40 minutes.
Remove from heat, and puree the soup with an immersion blender or high-speed blender until smooth. Add optional pepitas and serve warm.

Notes

If you prefer to make this soup in an Instant Pot:

Start by using the saute function to cook the onion and garlic as directed in the instructions.
Next, add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
Allow it to depressurize naturally, about 15-20 minutes
Puree the soup as directed in the instructions.
