Butternut Squash Soup





1 large or 2 medium butternut squash


5 large carrots


1/4 cup unhydrogenated coconut oil


1 cup cashews





Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and reserve (you can lightly toast the seeds and use as a topping as is or ground). Put the squash cut side down on a greased cookie sheet with the carrots and bake at 350 degrees until soft, about an hour.





Remove from the oven, allow to cool enough to handle and remove the skin from the squash. Place some of the squash, carrots, cashews, and oil into a blender and blend until creamy, adding just enough water to blend to desired consistency. Empty into a large container. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Stir it all together. Real salt and freshly grated nutmeg optional. Enjoy!
