Y'all, this is so good. With a hint of spice and Creole flavor, the butternut squash adds a little sweet to the turnip greens balancing the bitter and sweet. The andouille smoked sausage adds both warmth and flavor to the dish.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TURNIP SOUP
This is an original recipe, created from the need to do something with a squash and some turnips before they expired. It makes quite a few servings, so if desired, it can be halved, and a smaller squash (i.e. acorn squash) can be used.

BUTTERNUT AND TURNIP SOUP
Okay, before you turn up your nose, just hear me out :) Butternut soup always tastes a little too sweet for me, so today I tried adding a turnip. It was the perfect complement, now the taste is just right. For me at least!

Steps:
- Heat oil and butter over medium heat, add onion and carrots and saute until soft.
- Add garlic and saute a few more minutes.
- Add a bit salt at each stage, then a little more if needed at the end. I use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for the entire recipe.
- Add squash, turnip and bouillon, then just enough water to barely cover the veggies.
- Cover and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
- Select a pan to make the roux (white sauce). I use a large, wide pan, large enough to hold the roux plus the vegetable soup.
- Make the roux by sauteeing flour in butter til golden, then slowly stir in the milk or almond milk. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently, then turn off heat.
- Puree the vegetable soup in blender until smooth, then stir it into the thickened roux.
- Add the spices, salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
- Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the soup a richer flavor.
- Use a variety of turnips: Different types of turnips have slightly different flavors, so using a mix can add complexity to the soup. Try using a combination of white, purple, and yellow turnips.
- Don't overcook the turnips: Turnips should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked turnips will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and other spices you add will depend on your personal preference. Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the soup with a garnish: A simple garnish like a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash and turnip soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted butternut squash and turnips give the soup a rich and flavorful broth, while the addition of apples and carrots adds sweetness and crunch. This soup is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
