Cooking Instructions

Step 1
Begin your culinary adventure by melting butter in a spacious soup pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Watch as it bubbles and releases a delightful nutty aroma, which should take about 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the diced onion, celery, and carrot to the pot, stirring them gently until the onion turns soft and translucent, a process that will take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are tender, add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for an additional minute, ensuring it doesnβt burn to preserve its rich flavor.
Step 5
Now, pour in the chicken stock, followed by the cubed butternut squash, diced turnip, and sweet potato.
Step 6
Bring this vibrant mixture to a rolling boil, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
When it reaches a boil, cover the pot and lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Let it cook until the sweet potato is fork-tender, which should take about 40 minutes.
Step 9
Once the vegetables are perfectly cooked, grab a stick blender and puree the soup to your desired smoothness, creating a velvety texture.
Step 10
Finally, season your masterpiece with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to your taste.

For an extra touch, consider garnishing with a swirl of cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
