Directions

In a large pot, combine corn kernels, chopped green beans, diced butternut squash, diced potatoes, and 5 cups of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are almost tender when pierced with a fork.
-
In a small bowl, blend the all-purpose flour and softened butter together until smooth and no lumps remain.
-
Stir the butter-flour mixture into the simmering soup.
-
Increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the soup to thicken.

Note
**Storage:** Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water if the soup has thickened too much.
**Variations:** For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of milk or cream at the end. You can also add other sturdy vegetables like carrots or celery during the simmering stage.
**Substitutions:** Use vegetable broth instead of water for a richer flavor profile. For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with olive oil or vegan butter.
**Tip:** Ensure your butternut squash is peeled and seeded before dicing to save time and ensure even cooking.
