Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients:
- 1 butternut squash (around 1kg - 1.5kg / 2-3 pounds)
- 2 large onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1000 ml (4 cups) vegetable broth
- 250 ml (1 cup) heavy cream (or soy cream)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, cumin
- salt, pepper
Directions:
- Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and thinly slice it. Peel the onion and thinly slice it. Peel the garlic and finely dice. Place a pot over low heat. Add the oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the sage and squash. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until the squash is soft, stirring occasionally. Quick tip:The thinner the squash is sliced, the sooner it will cook.
- Add the vegetable broth (or water), and continue to simmer for 10 minutes covered with a lid.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) to blend into a smooth soup. Pour in the heavy cream, and season to taste with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cumin. Stir well.
- Divide the soup between six plates, top with 100% pumpkin seed oil, add micro-greens for garnish and slice of toasted sourdough bread.
