  • Vegetable peeler
  • Spoon or spatula for stirring
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • ½ butternut squash peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 carrots peeled or washed, cut into ½-inch chunks
  • 1 brown onion peeled, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 750 ml vegetable broth see notes
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare carrots, onion, garlic and butternut squash. Add them into the pot, along with sesame oil. On medium heat, cook everything for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Next, add vegetable broth, thyme, bay leaves and spices. Bring the contents to boil and cook for about 20-25 minutes. When you’re done, the carrots and butternut squash should be soft and pliable.
