Butternut Squash Soup

Day 8


Butternut Squash Soup! One of my favorites.  It's that time of year again for warm yummy soups.  I didn't use a recipe to make this, I just sort of threw it together with what I had around the house.  I got the squash at the farmers market, but didn't think ahead to what I would need to make soup with it. lol  I do that sort of thing all the time.  Anyway, here is my recipe, I am sorry I don't have exact measurements, I don't measure things either.

1 Butternut Squash
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 pat of Butter
Vegetable broth
Onion
Salt
Sugar In The Raw
Honey
Nutmeg
Almond milk

I cooked a little bit of chopped onions in the coconut oil and butter, then added just a small pinch of Sugar In The Raw to caramelize the onions (About 8 minutes).  Then I added the Butternut squash with the vegetable broth, just enough to cover the squash and cooked on low with lid for 20 minutes.  Then I took out the squash and put in blender with the almond milk.  I put the pureed squash back in pot with just a tad of the vegetable broth it was cooked in (until you get it to the consistency you like).  Add 1 Tbsp honey, pinch of salt and a tiny pinch of nutmeg.

What are your favorite fall soups and recipes?  I would love more ideas for some soups.

Yum! I posted my favorite recipe for squash soup on my blog a couple years ago. You can find it HERE.

And HERE is a recipe I posted for creamy carrot soup. It's curried, and it doesn't have a strong carrot flavor. So yummy!
