Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion (peeled and chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves (or ½ teaspoon ground sage)
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced
- 6 cups butternut squash cubes (peeled, seeds scooped out and cut into ¾ inch cubes)
- 2 ½ cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy, almond milk, coconut milk all work!)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through.
- Add the sage and cook for another 1 minute or so, until you can smell it.
- Add the carrots, squash, stock, maple syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots and squash are tender.
- Add the cup of milk and blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes). Alternatively, you could *very carefully* transfer to a stand blender and blend until smooth.
- Enjoy!
