What you need:

• 2 tbsp coconut oil, grass-fed butter or ghee
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced
• 1-2 medium-small sweet potatoes, cleaned and diced
• 1 large zucchini, diced
• 1 tbsp fresh turmeric root, grated (or 1-2 tsp powder)
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
• 4-5 cups vegetable stock
• 1 tsp oregano, minced onion, red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp celery seed, paprika, true cinnamon, cayenne pepper
• 1/4-1/2 tsp ginger powder
• Himalayan salt
• Black pepper

What to do:

-In a large pot or dutch oven, melt the coconut oil, butter or ghee over medium-high heat. Add in the onions, stirring for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and begin to sweat. Stir in the garlic and turmeric, cooking for 1-2 additional minutes.
-Add in the carrots and celery and cook for 5-7 minutes.
-Season with salt and pepper and add in all the spices. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
-Add in the butternut squash, sweet potato and zucchini, pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
-Once a boil is reached, reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
-When the squash and sweet potato is fork tender, remove from the heat. (Cooking time depends on the size of your cuts).
-Cool slightly for 5 minutes before adding to a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix, or alternatively blend in the pot using an immersion stick.
-Blend until creamy and smooth (about 1-2 minutes), season to taste with salt, pepper and any additional spices.
-Reheat to serve and top with microgreens and hemp hearts for added protein

NOTES
