Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. Cubed Butternut Squash
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 2 Honeycrisp Apples – Peeled and Chopped
  • 2 D’Anjou Pear – Peeled and Chopped
  • 1/2 Large Red Onion – Chopped
  • 40 oz. Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Teaspoon Himalayan Sea Salt Plus ½ Teaspoon for Roasting Squash
  • ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ginger
  • Optional: 5.4 oz. Can Organic Coconut Cream

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 Degrees.
  2. Place butternut squash into large mixing bowl. Add 1 TBSP olive oil and ½ Teaspoon salt. Toss with spoon until coated.
  3. Spray cookie sheet with olive oil, pour squash onto cookie sheet. Roast in 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, tossing half-way through. Depending on oven – may need 5 more minutes.
  4. Once fork goes through squash easily, remove from oven and set on counter.
  5. While squash is roasting, prepare onion and fruit. In large sauté pan, add 1 TBSP olive oil. Let warm up and then add onion – cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.
  6. Add diced apples and pears – season with 1 Teaspoon salt. Let cook for about 8 minutes. Add 4 oz. vegetable broth. This will help soften the fruit. Cook another 2 minutes until soft.
  7. In a blender, combine the squash, onion/fruit mixture and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth – at least 30 seconds for each batch.
  8. Another option is to pour all into a large pot and use an immersion blender.
