Creamy Butternut Squash Soup



 A great summer soup!

Ingredients:
1 large bag of frozen Butternut Squash, defrosted
2 tablespoons of extra virgin Olive Oil
½ tsp of Sea Salt
¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
5 cups of water
1 large White Onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of Garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of dried Sage
1 teaspoon of dried Marjoram
2 teaspoons of Sea salt
1 cup of Coconut cream

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400*F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remember to never substitute wax paper for parchment paper, they are very different and wax paper will give your roasted veggies and fruits an odd smell.

In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the chunks of butternut squash. Sprinkle over it the ½ teaspoon of Sea salt, and the black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Toss the mix with your fingers, working to thoroughly coat the butternut squash cubes.

Placed the seasoned cubes in oven for 25 minutes, or until fork tender.
In a large pot, bring the water, onions, garlic and all remaining spices to gentle boil. Add in the roasted butternut squash and return to a gentle boil. You can add one more cup of water if you think it necessary.

Use an immersion blender or your food processor to puree the soup. Once pureed, slowly add the coconut cream a little at a time and work it into the soup.

Makes 6 servings. Garnish with fresh Thyme leaves and stems before serving.
