Ingredients:

• 1 medium organic butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut oil)
• 1 medium organic onion, diced
• 2 cloves organic garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh organic ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon organic curry powder (ensure it’s free from additives)
• 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
• 4 cups organic grass-fed bone broth (homemade or quality store-bought)
• 1 teaspoon organic turmeric powder (optional, for added anti-inflammatory benefits)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup roasted sprouted organic pumpkin seeds, for garnish
• Fresh organic cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Squash
   Start by preparing the butternut squash. Peel and cube it into bite-sized pieces. The squash will cook faster and blend easier if cut into smaller chunks. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
   Heat the olive oil (or coconut oil) over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Spices
   Sprinkle the curry powder and turmeric powder (if using) into the pot. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic in the spices. The heat will help activate the spices and bring out their full flavor.
4. Cook the Squash
   Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot and stir to combine. Let the squash cook for about 5 minutes, absorbing the flavors from the onions and spices.
5. Add Bone Broth and Coconut Milk
   Pour in the bone broth and coconut milk (or coconut cream) and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir well, ensuring everything is well combined. Let the soup cook for 20-25 minutes or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6. Blend the Soup
   Once the squash is tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy carefully. You can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender if you don’t have an immersion blender. Blend until the soup is smooth, then return it to the pot.
7. Season
   Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to your liking.
8. If you want to balance out the heat from the curry, add a tablespoon of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Stir until fully combined.Roast the Pumpkin Seeds
   While the soup simmers, spread the pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Watch them closely to avoid burning.
9. Serve and Garnish
   Ladle the creamy coconut curry butternut squash soup into bowls. For a satisfying crunch, top with roasted pumpkin seeds, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
