BEAUTIFUL BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

BEAUTIFUL butternut squash soup
I don't have a pic for this one and it is a shame ... it was so bright and beautiful !! My batteries on my camera were dead and the soup has been consumed and so ... no pic. But take my word for it it is lovely !!
ING :1 small butternut squash peeled and seeded and cubed.
2 small sweet potatoes peeled and cubed as well
2 medium carrots not peeled and cut into rounds
1 celery stalk sliced
1 medium red pepper cubed
4 medium yellow flesh potatoes
2 medium white onions chopped
4 cloves of garlic sliced
Enough stock to cover veggies an inch over the top
2 tbls of chopped fresh ginger
olive oil
1 tsp turmeric

Easy to make .... easy to eat !!
Saute the onions in some olive oil till soft (about 2-3 mins)
.... add the garlic and continue to cook till the garlic is fragrant :)
Add the ginger and mix for about 1 min.
Add the veggies and mix em up, cook for about 5 mins
Cover with stock and add the turmeric .....
boil gently till the potatoes and carrots are soft BUT DON"T BOIL IT AWAY TO MUSH !! Just till soft. It should take no longer then 15 mins.
Blend till very smooth with a hand blender .... and I mean smooth ( about 5 mins )
Seriously beautiful bright yummy healthy soup :)
Happy eating !!
