Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 40 min | Total Time: 50 min | Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tbsp dairy-free butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 2 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 sprig fresh thyme + more for garnish
- 2 bay leaves
- pumpkin seeds, for garnish
- coconut cream, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s foamy.
- Add the onion and cook for 3-4 min until it’s soft and slightly brown.
- Stir in the garlic for 1-2 min until it smells nice, then add the sage for 1 more minute.
- Put in the squash, broth, salt, and pepper. Also, add the thyme and bay leaf.
- Turn up the heat until it boils, then lower it and let it simmer, covered, for 30 min or until the squash is soft.
- Take out the bay leaf and thyme. Use a blender to mix everything until it’s smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water or broth to get the consistency you want. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or sage if needed.
- Serve it in bowls with a swirl of coconut cream or heavy cream, some fresh sage or thyme leaves, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
