Start to Finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active)
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 pounds whole butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons Grass-Fed Ghee, melted and divided
- 4 cups pastured chicken stock
- 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (BPA-free)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh thyme leaves or extra virgin olive oil to garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel your butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Rub them all over with 1 tablespoon of your ghee and roast them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with foil for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until completely soft.
- In a high powered blender (or in a soup pot with an immersion blender), add roasted butternut squash and 1 cup of chicken stock. Blend until mostly combined, then continue adding stock 1 cup at a time until you achieve a consistency you like. You can use less stock if you want a thicker soup.
