  • 1 large potato cubed
  • 1 medium butternut squash - peeled seeded, and cubed

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large pat.
  • Cook the onion, carrots, potato and squash for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover the vegetables.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer 40 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
