The Perfect Butternut Squash Soup

Coat the bottom of a large pot with a generous amount of olive oil, heat on medium low to low for a couple of seconds, and add in the onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent, approximately 5-10 minutes.

Add in the turmeric, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Mix  the spices together and sauté until aromatic, approximately 5 minutes.

Add the potato and squash to the pot. Pour in stock to cover all ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until both squash and potato are soft, for approximately 45-50 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot soup from stove and spoon into a large blender. Purée soup until smooth, and then return to the pot over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
