Curried Butternut Squash Soup

gut health recipes Sep 30, 2020

Food regulates metabolism and good nutrients help to transform toxins, used hormones, RX drugs, food additives, and “junk” into water-soluble compounds which  can be excreted out of the body. So if you have your gut and liver working overtime trying to process junk (alcohol, sugar, caffeine, processed foods, and drugs) then they will have a hard time performing at their optimal levels and over time the liver gets clogged and the gut functions start to break down.  

Here’s one of my favorite Fall soups from my Restore Your Gut Health Program to help regulate the metabolic functions back to optimal performance. This soup is hearty and provides a certain level of comfort which other meals lack. 

Butternut squash is an excellent source of vitamin A and one of the healthiest starches. It has a natural sweetness which pairs well with bold curry flavors and embraces the sweetness of apple. Apple and butternut squash naturally compliment each other. They’re harvested at the same time of year, they’re both high in fiber. Soups are one of my favorite recommendations for working moms because you can batch cook soups on the weekend and have leftovers during the week or freeze a pot.  

Curried Butternut Squash and Apple Soup 

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil 

1 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced 

1 Tablespoon curry powder

1 lb butternut squash, cut into cubes

3 granny smith apples, cut into cubes

1 litre homemade chicken stock

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp thyme 

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot, add onions and garlic and simmer until golden. Add curry powder, salt,  butternut squash and apple chunks and cover with chicken stock. Allow to simmer for about 30 minutes until butternut squash is soft. Use an immersion blender or add to your blender in batches to create a smooth creamy consistency, enjoy! 

Add all ingredients to your blender and process until super smooth. 

Food regulates metabolism and creates building blocks for healthy hormones. Don’t cheat yourself by consuming crap. Eat well, live well, and follow your gut.
