Creamy Butternut Squash & Golden Turmeric Soup

“This Creamy Butternut Squash soup with the Nia Organic Golden Turmeric mix is so easy to make and it’s the perfect comforting soup for the fall and the colder months ahead. Of all the squashes, butternut squash is my absolute favorite! It is velvety and comforting to eat due to its soft and sweet flavor. When choosing a squash, pick the heavier one as the flesh is tastier. The beautiful orange color of the squash is due to its high beta-carotene content, which is converted into vitamin A once in the body. Vitamin A is essential for a good vision, healthy skin and stronger immunity to diseases. The turmeric and ginger in the Nia Golden Turmeric mix have both powerful anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing properties to boost your immune system and aid your digestive health. You will love this soup for its delicious flavors and dietary diversity! It’s healthy, it’s vegan, gluten-free and it’s DELICIOUS!” By Amina Badar

Ingredients

7-8 Servings

Recipe Preparation

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil (or coconut oil).
Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes, then add garlic, the Nia Golden Turmeric mix, cumin, black pepper, and sea salt and stir for 1 minute or 2.
Add the cubed butternut squash, and water (add enough water to cover).
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 25 minutes until the squash is tender and a fork can easily pierce it through.
Remove the soup from the heat and add the coconut milk (Remember to set aside a few tablespoons for topping).
Puree with a hand-held immersion blender, or carefully transfer the soup into your blender and blend until you get a smooth, creamy puree.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, pour the soup into bowls and using a spoon, drizzle with the remaining coconut milk.

Enjoy immediately.
