I seem to be craving soup a lot due to the cold weather, so here's another soup recipe.  Butternut squash are very nutrient dense and in season right now.

Savory Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash, cubed or sliced in a food processor
1 large carrot, shredded
1 large stalk of celery, minced
1 small onion or 6 green onions, minced
2 TBSP coconut oil
4 cups of filtered water
8 fresh sage leaves, chopped
2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste

In a large pot, melt the oil on medium heat.  Add in the carrots, celery and onion and cook until translucent.   Add the squash, sage, salt, pepper, water, and butternut squash.  Bring to a boil, then simmer until the squash is soft, about 30 minutes.  Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth.
