A simple, delicious recipe that comes together quickly. This soup offers cozy warmth for cold winter nights.
Ingredients
5-7 Carrots, peeled and chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2-3 celery stalks, chopped
1 Butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and chopped
1 large Acorn or Kabocha squash, peeled, de-seeded and chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 tsp peeled and minced ginger
3 cups of veggie stock or bone broth
1 can of coconut milk
2 T of oil [olive, avocado, coconut]
1-2 tsp of fresh strained lemon juice
1 tsp salt
Directions
Peel and chop all vegetables on the ingredient list. Sauté celery, onion, and carrots together for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions turn translucent. Then add the chopped squashes, ginger, garlic, and veggie stock or bone broth. Cook on med-low for 30-45 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked through [they are easily punctured by a fork]. Turn off heat. Add 1 tsp. salt, 1 can of coconut milk, and the lemon juice. Optional additions: cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, and/or black pepper to taste. Purée with an immersion blender, standing blender, or food processor. Serve hot! This soup gets better overnight, and is even tastier the second day.
