I didn't like vegetables as a kid. I would fall asleep at the dinner table because I wouldn't eat them and my parents wouldn't let me get up until they were finished.
I have now reversed my opinion. I love vegetables. Most of them, at least.
If they all tasted like butternut squash, I wouldn't have had a vegetable dilemma in the first place.
This soup is unbelievable. It taste better than its rich nutritional content suggest.
Throw some bacon in the soup and you have a great meal.
Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash cubed to 1 inch squares
1 sweet onion coarsely chopped
2 tbls grass fed butter or coconut oil
1 cup of full fat coconut milk
1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 450.
- Lightly grease a cooking tray with butter to keep squash from sticking.
- Place cut up butternut squash and onion on cooking tray, spreading out as much as possible.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping squash and onion at half way.
- Add butter, coconut milk, broth, garlic, all spice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to a blender.
- Put baked squash and onion in blender and run until a creamy consistency is achieved. This usually takes around 2 minutes in my Blendtec.
- Serve and enjoy.
