Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

Peel your butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Rub them all over with 1 tablespoon of your ghee and roast them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with foil for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until completely soft.

Step 3

In a high powered blender (or in a soup pot with an immersion blender), add roasted butternut squash and 1 cup of chicken stock. Blend until mostly combined, then continue adding stock 1 cup at a time until you achieve a consistency you like. You can use less stock if you want a thicker soup.

Step 4

With your blender on medium speed, slowly stream in the coconut milk and remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Season with salt to taste.

Step 5

Serve roasted butternut squash soup with fresh thyme leaves and extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top
