INGREDIENTS | 2 Small Servings (Or 1 large serving)
Total Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

🎃 600 g (roughly 1/2) butternut squash - Unpeeled weight
🧅 0.5 onion
🧄 1 large garlic clove
💦 1.5 broth (Can use chicken or vegetable broth)
💦 0.5 - 1 cup water (Depending on the consistency you prefer)
🌿 1 tsp green blend
☀️ 1 tsp golden blend
🧂 Salt + Pepper (To taste)
🥛 1/4 cup cream or milk or plant milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the squash into half and then long slices. Cut the skin off and scrape seeds out. Check out the video below. Then cut the slices into 2 inch cubes.

2. Over med-high heat, place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot. The liquid won't quite cover all the ingredients. Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender (check with knife). It should take about 10 minutes.

3. Remove pot from heat. Use a stick blender to blend until smooth. If you want to use a regular blender (like we did), make sure the mixture is cooled for 5-10 minutes first. *Hot stuff in a sealed blender = explosion*

4. Pour mixture back into the pot and season to taste with salt, pepper and the cream. Don't boil the soup after adding cream, as the cream will split.

5. Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle with more cream, sprinkle with black or cayenne pepper and garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve with bread or enjoy on it's own!
