Ingredients:

1.1 package pre-cut butternut squash
2.4 cups of broccoli, chopped
3.4 cups chicken broth
4.1 yellow onion, chopped
5.3 cloves garlic, diced
6.1 cup Cabot Cheddar Cheese, shredded
7.Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1

Warm Broth.

Place broth in a good-sized pot and add cubed squash, onion, and garlic.

2

Bring to a Boil.

Bring to a boil and then add broccoli.

3

Cook.

Let contents cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft enough to blend. Add a touch of salt & pepper.

4

Use Immersion Blender or Regular Blender.

For easy clean-up use an immersion blender to puree veggies and keep everything in one pot.

To use a regular blender, ladle soup into a blender and puree to eliminate the chunks and pour back into pot. (may have to do this in small batches).

5

After Pureeing-Add the Cheese.

 Add the cheese, stir and taste.

Add salt and pepper for additional seasoning and enjoy!

Notes:

I prefer not pureeing everything, leaving some of the vegetables in the broth for a heartier meal.
