- 1 large butternut squash, ~3lbs
- 3 inch knob of ginger
- 4 carrots, diced
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- ½ large onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, rough chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 quarts vegetable stock
- 2 cups milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative works as well
- 2 - 3 tbsp honey
- pinch ground cloves, optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and fibers.
Place butternut squash in a roasting pan and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil. Toss until fully coated. Place skinned-side bottom and roast the squash for 50 - 60 minutes.
While squash is roasting, in a stock pot over medium heat, warm up remaining 2 tbsp of oil. Add the rest of the vegetables and sauté until browned.
Pour vegetable stock into the stock pot and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add in your scooped roasted butternut squash.
In a blender, in batches, blend the vegetable mixture. Or use an immersion blender to blend the mixture in the stock pot.
After the vegetable mixture has been pureed, stir in milk and honey, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
