Recipe from: Lale Yasemin Kaya

Ingredients:

• 1 (2 lb) red kuri squash, or pumpkin, or any other winter squash
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1.5 cups Coconut Butter
• 1 cup of filtered water
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tablespoon chunk ginger
• 3 cups (or more) vegetable broth or bone broth, depending on your preference
• 1/2 cup sprouted walnuts (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Chop the squash into 1-inch cubes (no need to peel).
• Toss the cubes with the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, chipotle, tamari and vinegar.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until tender all the way through.
• Transfer the baked squash to a blender and blend with the rest of the ingredients (you might need to do it in two or three batches if your blender is smaller or less powerful).
• If you need to add more broth, go ahead.
• Mine was super thick and that’s how I like it. Also: be careful not to over-blend, otherwise the soup will get glue-y.
• Once blended to a smooth, creamy consistency; serve with avocado toast, crackers, as a sauce for vegetables or pasta, or however you like!
