Soup

ingredients

  • 5 cups roasted butternut squash
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar Epic Tuscan-Style Chicken Bone Broth
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

To roast the butternut squash:

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic powder, thyme, and brown sugar until they're evenly coated.

  • Step 3

    Spread the seasoned butternut squash on the baking sheet in a single layer.

  • Step 4

    Roast in the oven until the squash turns golden brown and becomes easily pierced with a knife, which should take about 25-30 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and let it cool.

To make the soup:

  • Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they're translucent and fragrant.

  • Step 2

    Stir in turmeric, cumin, salt, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, parsley, and red pepper flakes until well-mixed.

  • Step 3

    Add cubed butternut squash, Epic Tuscan-Style Chicken Bone Broth, and coconut milk. Stir to combine.

  • Step 4

    Let it boil for 1-2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it's smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes. The soup will thicken as it simmers.

  • Step 6

    Remove from heat and serve in bowls. Optionally, top with croutons.
