Instructions
- Wash, peel, and finely mince onion in food processor or with a sharp knife. Lightly spray a small soup pot with non-propellant 100% oil {avocado, olive oil, coconut}. Gently warm over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent.
- Wash, peel, and mince fresh ginger root. Use 1/2 teaspoon for milder flavor or 1 teaspoons for stronger ginger flavor. Add to pot along with chicken broth, frozen or fresh butternut squash cubes, and chili powder. Note - omit chili powder for a milder soup. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Cover. Cook until squash is tender, about 5 to 10 minutes for frozen squash or 15 to 20 minutes for fresh squash. Remove from heat.
- For spicier soup add more Ancho chili pepper powder, to taste. Add salt, to taste.
- Optional - cool soup and add to blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth and creamy. Return to pan and reheat before serving or serve soup chilled.
- Optional garnish - add a spiral of full fat coconut milk or heavy cream to each serving and drag a toothpick or knife tip through it to spread as pictured. Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs and add a dash of fresh ground pepper.
