Baby, it’s cold out there! I had first made this soup for a community education class, and this was a hit. I didn’t realize how simple soup-making was, especially if you have a Vitamix or a blender. This soup will keep you warm and cozy while nourishing you in the cold and snowy weather.
Wash and cut the butternut squash into cubes. Heat oil in a pot on medium heat and sauteè the onions with garlic, ginger, and cinnamon stick. This caramelizes the onion and brings out more flavor from the spices. Now add the butternut squash cubes and broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper and mix well. When the time is complete, give it a few minutes to cool off slightly and add in your favorite blender. Do not fill up the blender as there will not be enough room for pressure to escape. Blend it in sections, and there you have it. Simple, right? It really is that simple. Garnish it with your favorite herbs and serve. Add in some collagen for a protein boost. Enjoy!
