Sweet squash and chick pea soup:
- ½ a kabocha or butternut squash
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 2 sticks celery
- 1 ear corn
- 1 cup cooked chick peas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 bay leaves
- Sea salt (to taste)
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice
- Handful fresh cilantro
- Freshly ground black pepper
Prepare your vegetables – peel and dice the squash and cut the onion, carrot and celery into small dice.
Pour 3 – 4 cups of water into a soup pot and add the squash along with the other veggies and the chick peas. Add the bay leaves and about a teaspoon of sea salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves and whisk the soup, adding the coconut milk and lemon juice. The squash will break up and form a nice creamy base for the soup. Add the cilantro and black pepper before serving.
Enjoy!
