Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 ounces) of butternut squash, cubed
- 3 cups of unsalted vegetable stock or broth
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of sage, chopped
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, diced

Directions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil to thinly coat the surface.
- Add the mushrooms, onions and sauté until translucent, approximately for 4 minutes.
- Add the butternut squash, sage, rosemary, half the parsley and salt, stir, then cover.
- Cook over medium low heat until squash is tender, approximately 25 minutes. Check every 10 minutes, and stir if needed.
