Ingredients

*Ingredients available at the farmers’ market

• 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 or chicken broth*
• 8 oz light cream
• 2 tsp seasoned salt
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Peel and cube the butternut squash and potatoes. Peel the shallot and slice thinly. Chop the spinach coarsely.
2. 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.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add mirepoix (carrot, celery, and onion) then 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).
4. 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)
