You will need: 2 medium butternut squash’s, peeled and cut into medium size cubes (about 7 cups), 1 large onion, 1 Granny Smith apple, 2 garlic cloves, Fresh Sage, 6 cups stock (I used my homemade chicken stock, but you can substitute it with veggie or beef stock), 1 can(13.5oz) coconut milk, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons butter, Salt & Pepper, 1 tsp cinnamon, Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Instructions:
- To your soup pot add 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- Add onion and sauté on medium heat for just a minute
- Add cubed Granny Smith apple and 2 fresh sprigs of sage
- Cook all together for two minutes
- Add sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant
- Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Add some freshly ground black pepper
- Mix the spices in
- Add the butternut squash and give everything a good mix
- Add the stock
- Cover the pot and let the soup simmer until the squash is tender. I like to roughly mush the squash with the potato masher while it’s still hot. Then let it cool a little, then purée it in the blender
- Transfer the puréed soup back to the pot and add the coconut milk
- Add salt to taste
- Add the lemon juice
- Bring the soup to a light boil
- Serve and enjoy!
