• 1 medium/large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
• 1  onion
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced or 1 1/2 cup of baby carrots
• 3 stalks of celery, diced (don’t worry too much about the size, we’ll be blending it all later)
• 4 peeled cloves of garlic
• 5-6 sage leaves
• 3 tbsp of Olive Oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 cups (add a little bit more if needed) of chicken or vegetable stock

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. On a large baking sheet, toss together the butternut squash, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, sage, oil, salt, pepper.
3. Roast them for 45 minutes or until tender.
4. Puree the veggies with a little bit of stock in a blender.
5. Add your pureed mixture to a saucepan, add enough stock to get your desired consistency and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Serve in a small bowl and garnish with a splash of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of cheese, or some seasonal herbs and edible flowers.
