Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.5 pounds butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled and deseeded
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 inch fresh turmeric tuber
  • 1- inch fresh ginger root
  • ¾ tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 5 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Chop the veggies (butternut squash, potatoes, carrot, and onion) into 2-3 large pieces.
  • Place them in a pot together with the garlic, turmeric, and ginger. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 mins or until tender.
  • Put the cooked veggies, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cashews in a blender. Add vegetable broth from the pot, season with thyme and salt, and blend for several minutes or until creamy.
  • Transfer the soup back to the pot. Serve with croutons, boiled chickpeas, or buckwheat. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of your soup by adding more or less vegetable broth.
  • I prefer to add the pumpkin last, around 10 mins after the other vegetables. It boils quickly and I don’t want to overcook it. Thus more nutrients are preserved.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger or turmeric, you can use 1 teaspoon dried of each.
