Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

On a  cold afternoon or evening, soup is one of our most requested recipes. This soup is so hearty and by just changing the spices, you can create very different recipes with a variety of flavors. When adding this soup to the Genesis Health Solutions Weight Loss Program, 1-1/2  cups covers your vegetable and 1/2 your fat for one meal.



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 Tbs. organic coconut, avocado or macadamia nut oil
  • ½ cup chopped shallot or onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg OR 1/2 -1 tsp. cumin (to taste)
  • Himalayan sea salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 3-4 cups organic chicken broth
  • 2 Tbs. Kerry Gold butter


INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush oil on inside of squash and season with salt and pepper. Place squash cut side down on parchment and roast until tender – approximately 45-50 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a bowl and discard the skin.


In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots or onion. Cook, stirring until soft and turning golden brown on edges. Add garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute. If you have an immersion blender, add squash, nutmeg (or cumin), salt and pepper to pot, along with 3 cups of chicken broth. If you like a thinner soup, add more broth. Stir in butter and serve.


If using a blender, add garlic, onions, squash nutmeg (or cumin), salt and pepper, along with 2 cups broth. Do not fill past maximum fill line. Blend well, then return contents to pan. Then add 1-2 more cups of broth to your liking, along with the butter. Heat and serve.

  • I can’t begin to tell you how much appreciation I have for the Tanzar’s and this program. Truly a life changing decision when I invested in this program. Genesis is a very apt title but it’s also like a rebirth. I’m on my second life which is healthy, happy and pain free. I lost 85 lbs in 4 months, maybe less time. That is about 15 lbs more than my goal. So excited about the rest of my life!
