Ingredients

  • 1 lb Butternut squash
  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 1 large shallot
  • 4 oz baby spinach
  • 1 small carrot chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 rib celery chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 8 oz light cream
  • 2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and cube the butternut squash and potatoes. Peel the shallot and slice thinly. Chop the spinach coarsely.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium-high and add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Add potato, squash and shallot. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add mirepoix (carrot, celery and onion) and then vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover the pan and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until potato and squash are done (test by piercing with a knife).
  • Stir in cream, spinach and seasoned salt. Bring back to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. (If too thick, add a little water until the desired consistency is reached)
