Hello All,
I hope you are doing well and staying nourished this fall season. I'm going to be sharing with you another nourishing recipe (a soup, yay!) that's meant to fill you with so much goodness, warmth, and cheer. One of the things I love about the end of the year are the holidays that come with it. Although, I'm not too much of a Christmas girl, I do love a good cup of hot chocolate made with the finest chocolate and the crackling sound of the fireplace (virtual right now hahaha) to go along with it. I simply love that it's the time of the year where rest and coziness are embraced.
If you love fall, hearty, warm soups, then this is a recipe you'll want to try. Today's soup features a gourd loves during the fall season: butternut. Butternut squash contains vitamin A (good for the skin), fiber, vitamin C hence that beautiful orange color, and is great carb option for those want something a little lighter than good ol' sourdough. It also features delicious grass-fed stew meat that tops this recipe- the fat that the meat adds makes this soup so delicious, don't skip it.
Let's get into the recipe!
This soup only includes simple ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
-Grass-fed Grass-Finished Beef Stew Meat (my package came in cubes which takes down some of the time of me being in the kitchen)
- Butternut Squash
- Yellow, golden potatoes
- Yellow Squash
- Yellow Onions
- Great quality salt e.g. Celtic light grey salt
- Purified Water
- Freshly chopped herbs of thyme, parsley (only a little parsley due to its distinct taste)
*Make sure produce/ingredients in general are Organic or from a great farmer who doesn't use pesticides and chemicals on his merchandise.
RECIPE
In a Dutch oven, sautee your onions in a high heat cooking oil until almost soft. Add in your rinsed and dried stew meat and cook until browned on all sides- add your salt to meat when it's almost browned. I add around a tablespoon or two.
Add in your squash (not the yellow), potatoes, herbs and sautee a bit. At this point, I wouldn't add any more oil if I needed it, but something like tallow instead.
Add in your water and fill it to the top. Let it come to a boil and then turn down to medium. Let a medium boil continue. When meat is somewhat close to being tender, add in your yellow squash. Once meat is done, and veggies are fork tender, serve up!
Not the prettiest of pictures, but oh-so-good (it's kind of hard to take a good picture of soup where veggies are somewhat mashed from you stirring!).
Enjoy the tender meat, soft vegetables, and meat stock that will bring healing and warmth to the soul!
God bless and see you all in the next one,
Hannah
