Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

• 1 fresh pumpkin, cleaned, skinned, & cubed
• 2 fresh turnips, cleaned, skinned, & cubed
• 1 large brown onion, cleaned & cubed
• 2-3 carrots, sliced
• 1 bulb of garlic, minced
• chicken broth (usually 2 large cans Swanson's low sodium, enough to cover)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. 1

   Melt butter in Olive oil over medium heat. Add onion & sweat, DO NOT BROWN. When almost translucent, add garlic & continue sweating until onion is translucent.

2. 2

   Add all other ingredients. Stir, cover & bring to a boil. Lower heat and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until everything is soft (usually 1 1/2 hours). Turn off heat.

3. 3

   When cool enough to not burn out your blender, puree. There will usually be more broth than is needed, soup should be thick.
