Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 cup peeled, cored and coarsely chopped Granny Smith apple
1 cup peeled and coarsely chopped turnip
1 cup peeled and chopped butternut squash (seeds discarded)
1 cup coarsely chopped carrot
1 cup peeled, chopped sweet potato
5 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
salt, to taste
Directions:
1. For soup: Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add apple, turnip, squash, carrot, and sweet potato; sauté 5 minutes. Add the broth, bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Cool slightly.
