Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 medium onions, chopped

2 medium carrots, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup no-salt-added canned tomato sauce

5 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

4 cups cooked winter squash, cut into chunks

1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano

1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil

Directions

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before beginning preparation.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onions, carrots, and minced garlic to the hot oil. Stir well to combine.
Cover the saucepan and cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and carrots begin to soften.
Stir in the tomato sauce, broth, cooked squash, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Increase heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and deepen.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired before serving hot.

All ingredients are stocked routinely at Charlotte chains—squash, onions, carrots, and canned tomato sauce move through every Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart year-round. At roughly $8–10 total for six servings ($1.35–1.70 per bowl), this is solid weeknight cost. The stated 50 minutes is honest if you're roasting the squash whole; cut it in half and it drops to 35 minutes, which matters on a Tuesday. This is true comfort food that reheats beautifully and requires almost no active attention once everything hits the pot, making it reliable for families with kids or variable schedules.
