Super Butternut Squash Soup

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.
