You can do that – I do it a lot but when i am short on time this works really well too
I would thing roasting the vegetables first would add another layer of flavor.
I agree with Barbara, prep time , way more than 10 minutes and I’m not slow.
yes the potatoes need to be peeled and some people may be faster than others at peeling/chopping 🙂
I’ve made a variation of this soup over the years. Trader Joe’s usually has fresh butternut squash and squash w/parsnips, etc. already cut which makes it so less time consuming and easy!
Do you peel the potatoes too. This recipe sounds good, but the prep time is off. I don’t have a sous chef and it would take me at least 30 minutes to peel and cut the veggies.
yes they would need to be peeled before chopping
How does one prepare the acorn squash for this recipe? I have never used one in soup and assume it needs to be peeled…
I have a question about this recipe–Does one peel the butternut squash?
And, how does one peel an acorn squash (or is it just cut up whole? I have never used one in soup.)
Whether you use fresh, frozen or leftover cooked vegetables you can turn them into a wonderful warming winter vegetable soup that’s perfect for lunch and costs very little.
