Yield

8 Servings

Ingredients

1 squash, butternut
1 onion, white
4 cloves garlic
6 cups stock, vegetable (more or less, depending on the consistency you prefer)
2 tablespoons ghee (or coconut oil, melted)
  teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  curry powder (to taste (option))
  cinnamon, ground (to taste (option))
  garam masala (to taste (option))

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel and chop up the butternut, onion, and garlic. Mix with remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Spread on 1-2 baking pans so that the squash is in a single layer (this way it will caramelize more). Cook for about 30 minutes, then give it a toss with a spatula and pop it back in the over for another 15-20 minutes until the edges of the squash and onions start to turn brown.

Pour 1/2 the veggie broth into a blender and add the hot veggies bit by bit until well combined. Add more broth as desired for taste and consistency (using optional spices if desired). Serve with a garnish of cozy fall things like toasted, spiced seeds, cranberries, walnuts, sprigs of summer’s last herbs or fresh goat cheese.
