Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash- peeled, seeded, and cut into 3 inch chunks
  • 1 C pumpkin puree, from a can or jar
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, small dice
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 2 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 C chicken broth
  • 1 C full fat coconut milk
  • pepitas- for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized soup pot on medium-low heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sweat the mixture until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, sage, sea salt, and pepper. Mix well and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the bone broth and squash to the pot and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until the squash is fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree and coconut milk to the soup pot and remove it from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. It should be smooth and creamy when it’s thoroughly blended.
  5. Top the soup with pepitas and a drizzle of coconut milk before serving.
