Ingredients
  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • ¼ cup friendly fat to cook in (butter, coconut oil, lard)
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk, cream, or coconut milk (Water actually can work too, or a combo milk or cream and water. If going with the milk or cream just be sure it is a good sourced milk and never ULP)
  • Sea salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Cook the squash however you wish – either roasted or steamed. This time I opted for roasting it since I didn’t have a lot of hands on time to skin the squash and cube up for the steamer. Roasting takes longer to cook but hands on time is much faster.
  2. In a large soup pot, sauté the onion for about 7-10 min in your friendly fat on medium high with a pinch of salt to bring out their juices and sweeten.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for a minute.
  4. Add the cooked squash and milk and warm through.
  5. Puree the sauce and season to taste. I use my hand held immersion blender right in the pot. You can pour it into a blender too.
  6. Serve over gluten free noodles, rice, or veggie stir fry.
