Course: Soups and StewsCuisine: Cleanse-Friendly
Serving Size

4

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 3 ½ lb butternut squash

  • 1 yellow onion, halved

  • 1 garlic clove, peeled

  • ½ tbsp maple syrup

  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

  • 4 cups veggie or bone broth

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp butter, optional

  • TOPPINGS

  • Coconut cream

  • Pumpkin seeds

  • Parsley

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Cut the ends of the butternut squash. Carefully stand the squash on end and cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds. Place squash on a large baking pan, cut-side up, coat the flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip squash cut-side down and roast for 60 minutes. At the 30 minute mark, coat the halved onion with olive oil and place it cut-side down on the baking pan. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes, then remove the baking pan from the oven.
  • Allow the squash to cool slightly (about 10 minutes), then use a big spoon to scoop out the flesh and transfer to a blender. Remove the outer layer of the onion and add it to the blender along with the garlic, maple syrup, salt, nutmeg, ginger, butter (if using), and broth. Start with 3 cups of broth and add more to achieve your desired consistency. Blend on high for several minutes or until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve the soup by drizzling a small spoonful of coconut cream on top and garnishing with pumpkin seeds, parsley, and black pepper.
