Curried Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Soup

It’s soup season!  Who’s excited?  THIS GIRL!!  I love myself a heaping salad, but when the temperature drops and there’s soup simmering... there is nothing more comforting!!


INGREDIENTS:
- 6 cups of peeled, cubed pumpkin
- 6 cups of peeled, cubed butternut squash
- 3 cloves of crushed garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 16 oz of vegetable stock
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (more of less to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon curry (more or less to taste)
- coconut milk and pepitas to garnish


Ingredients:
- Halve, peel and de-seed pumpkin and butternut squash.  Cut into 1″ cubes and set aside.
- Chop onion and cook over medium-low heat in a large, heavy bottomed soup pot with coconut oil and garlic.  Cook until onions are softened, being careful not to burn the garlic.  Add curry (start with 1/2 tablespoon and add more as it cooks and you can adjust to your preference).  Cook for an additional minute.
-  Add pumpkin, squash, vegetable stock, 2 cups of water, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer over medium/low heat until squash and pumpkin are easily pierced with a fork.
- Let cool enough to transfer to a blender and puree. Adjust salt and curry after blending. Serve hot with a goood swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds.
