Everyone enjoys a good Butternut Squash recipe!

What you need:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 large white onion, diced

1 whole butternut squash, peeled and diced

1 large carrot, peeled and shopped

2 cups vegetable stock

1 Tbsp maple syrup

¼-1/2 tsp salt (less if your stock is salted)

½ tsp curry powder

1/2 cup Leaner Liquid (3 ½ tsp Leaner Creamer for 4 fl. oz. hot water)

What you need to do:

1. Remove membrane from squash using a peeler, halve, remove seeds and chop into 1 inch cubes. Chop onion, peel and chop carrot.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes or until onions are soft and transparent.
3. Turn heat down to medium low. Add stock, squash and carrot until squash is very soft, about 20-30 minutes.
4. Carefully tilt pot and remove about 1 cup of cooking liquid.
5. Using extra caution, pour soup into your blender. Add maple syrup and curry powder. Blend on high for 1 minute. Soup should be very smooth with no lumps.
6. Add leaner creamer and salt to taste. Blend once more just to incorporate.
7. Garnish with a swirl of non-dairy sour cream or some finely chopped pecans.
