3 cup vegetable stock
1 Tbsp. fennel seed
2 Tbsp. Italian herbs, minced
1 medium butternut squash

  • Combine the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the saucepan and sauté for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, vegetable stock, fennel seeds, and herbs. Cover and simmer 30-40 minutes covered, over low heat.
