Easy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had some of the coldest days of winter this week, here in western North Carolina. So fridged, my hands are cracking, even though they\u2019ve not been exposed to the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I want to do is wrap up in a blanket, sit by the blazing fireplace, and read. All I want to eat is piping-hot soup\u2026 Like our Butternut Squash Soup Recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This healthy butternut squash soup is savory-sweet, with a delicate herby note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s loaded with hearty butternut squash, celery root, onions, and garlic; a classic french combination. Then we added apples for a touch of sweetness, and fragrant Rodelle Herbes de Provence to round out the rustic french appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbes de Provence is an herb blend that incorporates all the flavors of a french countryside: rosemary, thyme, lavender, bay, basil, and marjoram, along with a few other herbs. The lavender gives the herb blend a unique quality that makes plain-jane dishes stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n

I made this slow cooker friendly recipe with my new favorite kitchen toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a cross between a slow cooker, an electric searing station, and a hot plate. Meaning, it\u2019s an all-in-one must-have kitchen tool. Not really a toy<\/em> at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new KitchenAid Multi-Cooker<\/a> is a brilliant invention, making it possible to sear, simmer, and slow cook all in one easy-to-clean electric pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s safe to leave for hours on its slow cooker setting, and eliminates the need to brown vegetables or meats in a separate pan before adding them to the slow cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n

There\u2019s an additional Stir Tower Attachment for the KitchenAid Multi-Cooker, to simplify dishes that you would normally babysit with a wooden spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine not<\/em> having to stand over risotto<\/a> and continually stir. You just set the KitchenAid Stir Tower to your desired speed and time and let it do the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, at first, I thought it was silly to have a device do the stirring. Yet now that I\u2019ve tried it, I\u2019m amazed at how hands-free dinner can be. Realistically, I could sear something in the morning, set the temperature and stir settings, and leave the house without care.<\/p>\n\n\n

And that\u2019s exactly what I did with this healthy butternut squash soup recipe. I seared the veggies and apples to soften and release their flavors, stirring with the stir tower\u2026 while I did homework with the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I came back later, added vegetable broth and Rodelle Herbes de Provence, and set it to simmer for a couple of hours while I worked out and visited with a neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were ready to eat, I used an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, creating an ultra-healthy plant-based dinner that filled and warmed our bellies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
