Ingredients

4 tbsps (60 ml) olive oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
2 ribs celery, sliced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 cup (150 g) diced butternut squash
1 tbsp minced garlic
6 cups (1.4 L) vegetable stock

1 tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the sliced carrots, celery, onion, and squash until the onion turns translucent and the vegetables start to soften, about 6–7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
