Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into one inch dice
  • 1 lb. sweet potato or yam, peeled and cut into one inch dice
  • 1 lb. white onion cut into one inch dice
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 6 cups filtered water

Directions

  1. Over a medium flame in a large stainless steel pot sauté the onions in the coconut oil.
  2. When the onions are soft add the yam, butternut squash and the water. Bring all to a simmer an cook until the solids are tender; 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Carefully pass all in a blender and return to the pot.
  4. Season with grey sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Some like a couple of scrapes of nutmeg to season the soup as well.
