Steps

Step 1: Making the Soup

Making the Soup
  • 2 1⁄2 cups butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded, and diced (from about 1 medium)
  • 1 lg russet potato, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 med yellow onion, peeled and chopped (about 1⁄2 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 1⁄4 tsp dried Italian herb mix, or a pinch each of oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1⁄4 cup green peas
  • 1⁄4 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Method

Bring 3 cups of water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the squash, potato, onion, garlic, herb mix, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Puree the soup using an immersion blender or transfer to a blender with a tight-fitting lid, covered with a towel. Return the soup to the pot and add the green peas and lime juice. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Serve hot, garnished with the parsley.

    I loved the bite of the green peas next to the creamy soup.They also look beautiful.

    This was not savory to me. Perhaps it needed more that a quarter tsp of Italian spices. I feel it would have been more flavorful using stock versus water. The soup had a more pronounced russet potato taste than butternut squash. It was quick and easy to make but lacking a lot of flavor. I made no alterations to the recipe.
