INGREDIENTS
Olive oil
3 large garlic gloves (chopped)
1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
3-4 Large celery stalks (chopped)
2 large carrots (chopped)
2 medium butternut squash (peeled, scoop out seeds, + chop)
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup almond milk
1/3 cup greek yogurt
salt + pepper (to taste)
goat cheese + pepitas to top it off!
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot (I used this dutchoven) sautΓ© the garlic, onions, and celery with olive oil on medium-high heat until soft and fragrant. Usually takes about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots, butternut squash, and 4 cups of vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered for about 30-40 min. You want all the vegetables to be tender and soft.
Transfer the soup to a blender and bled until smooth. You will have to do this in multiple batches. Once smooth, transfer back to pot.
Stir in greek yogurt
Stir in almond milk until desired consistency.
Add salt + pepper to taste.
There are so many toppings that enhance the already delicious flavor of this soup. A tangy sautΓ©ed kale mix, goat cheese, sourdough croutons, or toasted pepitas are a few great options!
Serve warm and enjoy!
