Butternut Carrot Ginger Soup

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 5

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 pounds butternut squash cubed, skin and seeds left (8 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed
  • 1 cup shallot diced
  • 1/3 cup fresh ginger chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 pounds carrots chopped
  • 2/3 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the chopped squash on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes or until soft when pierced with a knife.
  2. Warm the coconut oil in a large pot or dutch oven. Add the mustard seeds, shallot, and ginger, and cook until the seeds begin to pop and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and nutmeg, and cook on low for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the carrots, cashews, and coconut. Stir to combine with the spices. Add the water and cinnamon stick, and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, and cook on medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the carrots are soft when pierced with a knife.
  4. When the squash is done, add it to the pot with the carrots. Discard the cinnamon stick. Blitz with an immersion blender until creamy.
  5. Place a scoop of soup into a small bowl and stir with the miso. Return to the pot, add the apple cider vinegar, and stir to combine. Serve with additional coconut and flaky salt, as desired.
