Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash and Turnip Soup.
Step 1
Start by warming a large skillet over medium heat and melting a delightful mix of butter and olive oil.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in the cubed butternut squash, turnips, sliced celery, diced onion, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant vegetables for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a lovely golden-brown color and fill your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Step 4
While your veggies are cooking, grab a large pot and gently heat the chicken stock over medium heat until it starts to simmer, creating a cozy backdrop for your soup.
Step 5
When the vegetables are perfectly sautéed, transfer them into the pot with the simmering chicken stock.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add a bay leaf for depth, a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper, nutmeg, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt to elevate the flavors.
Step 7
Stir everything together, allowing the ingredients to mingle and create a symphony of taste.
Step 8
Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and inviting.
Step 9
Before serving, don’t forget to remove the bay leaf—it’s done its job! Now, ladle your warm and creamy soup into bowls, and enjoy every comforting spoonful.
