Ingredients
  

1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled and diced

1 lb beef sausage, casings removed and broken into pieces

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the butternut squash, as well as chopping the onion, carrots, and celery. Set them aside.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef sausage pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break them into smaller pieces as they cook.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

        Add Squash and Spices: Stir in the diced butternut squash, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

          Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender.

            Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If desired, you can leave some chunks for texture. (Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.)

              Final Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
