As we slip into fall weather, here is a wonderful recipe shared at our last cleanse to warm your body and spirit:

Butternut Squash Soup

1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled
2 large yellow onions
1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeded
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup organic coconut milk
3 1/2 cups purified water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Minced fresh cilantro

1. Cut squash, onion, and bell pepper into small cubes. Warm a large pot over medium heat; add oil and vegetables and toss to coat. Cook for 15 minutes; add paprika and toss.

2. Add coconut milk, water, and sea salt. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are soft enough to blend into a smooth soup, about 20 minutes.

3. Blend soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Taste before seasoning. Add apple cider vinegar. Serve with minced cilantro.

Enjoy your week!
