Butternut Squash Soup
I like this recipe because it's supersimple and is able to be made in onepot- so clean up is a piece of cake.The soup has a sweet and creamytexture, without any dairy, which isamazing. If you want to make therecipe even more nutrient-dense andadd a gut-healing aspect, swap outthe vegetable broth for 24-48 hourbone broth. Bone broths are high inglycine and collagen, which bothserve to nourish the cells of intestinallining and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 (3-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- ½ tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped parsley For serving
- Toasted pepitas For serving
- Crusty bread For serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, then add 3 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and serve with parsley, pepitas, and crusty bread.
