Butternut Squash & Carrot Soup

Simple,slightly sweet, creamy soup.*
Makes 4 cups

2 Tablespoons oil  (olive, canola)

1 1/2 Tablespoons grated ginger root

1 small onion (chopped)

4 cups butternut squash (chopped)

1 cup carrots (chopped)

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 cup Almond coconut milk  (or milk  or cream of your choice)

On medium heat, heat oil in a medium pot. Sauté onions and ginger root for a few minutes, add carrots and squash. Sauté for a few more minutes. Add just enough water to almost cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are soft. Carefully blend in blender until smooth. Return to pan. Add milk and heat. I drizzled some almond/coconut milk and sprinkled cinnamon over my soup.  Sprinkle some shredded coconut and cinnamon on top, if you have it. That is what I would have done! 

* This recipe is easily tweaked. Play with the spices to see what you like.

What Dessert Are You Most Like?

I was visiting Functional Shmunctional and saw this post. So I decided to give it a try. This turned out to be weird. As you can see, I am most like strawberries and cream. I love strawberries and cream, but have not had any in years because I am allergic to strawberries!! Hmm - does this mean I'm allergic to myself? LOL
