Sweet Potato and Squash Soup

This is super easy and doesn't take much time at all!

Bake your squash and your sweet potatoes after lunch...  Then it will be ready for dinner time!  :)

For our family of 8, I cooked 2 squash, and 4 sweet potatoes.  But I only used half, and put the other half in a baggie in the freezer.  Then all I need to do is thaw out that part for another batch!  :)

Sweet Potato and Squash Soup

1 butternut squash, cooked
2 sweet potatoes, cooked
1 onion
5-6 cloves of garlic (less if you want, but we LOVE garlic!)
1 (or 2) big carrots (ya know, not the baby ones...)
milk
sea salt
pepper
caradom

I sauteed the chopped and diced onion in some coconut oil. Then add the diced garlic and grated carrot and saute until done, slightly soft.
Add milk (I used 2%, but you could use coconut milk, or whole milk...), as much as you want.  I filled my pot half way full.  Then I added my cooked squash and 2 cooked sweet potatoes.  I stirred it up, and then gradual add your soup mixture to blender and blend til all the onions and garlic are chopped and everything is thoroughly mixed up.  :)

Dump it all together back in your pot and simmer until ready to eat!  Super easy and good!  You could eveb double the amounts and it would be an even thicker soup.  All the kids and hubs loved it and gobbled it down!  There was just enough leftovers for a bowl for lunch for me the next day!  :)
