               Maya's Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

Butternut squash and carrots make a great couple: sweet soul-satisfying
vegetables that compete with one another for beta-carotene content and a
sweet, earthy flavor. Appetite-fulfilling without lots of calories, butternut
squash makes a creamy soup that is comforting to eat. Try making croutons
with cinnamon raisin bread for a unique garnish.

From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
2 to 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1-inch chunks
3 large carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (1-inch piece)
2 quarts vegetable stock or cold water
1/8 cup grated orange zest
1 bunch parsley, chopped
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Sea salt, to taste
Ground pepper, to taste

Method
Heat olive oil or butter over medium heat in a large sauce pot. Sauté squash,
carrots, onion, and ginger for 3 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Add
stock and orange zest, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook
uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Add parsley,
nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Purée soup with hand held immersion blender or
in a food processor until smooth and creamy.

Maya’s modifications:

I only sauted the onions.
First I cleaned the veggies did not peal (makes the job easy) .
I added a sweet potato.
After boiling scooped the squash and then pureed the veggies in a                  
food processor and added the onions and the water.
