Seriously, this cleanse is forcing me to become a legit cook! I have to prepare many of our meals from scratch now and am actually enjoying trying healthy "cleanse friendly" recipes. I made this soup tonight. It was amazing (and simple). It is a must try if you like Butternut Squash Soup.
2-3 TB Olive Oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed
1 butternut squash (peeled, seeded and cubed) OR Trader Joe's bag of already cubed butternut squash
1 (32 oz) container of chicken stock
pinch of the following: sea salt, pepper, cumin, curry powder, cinnamon, nutmeg
1/2 C of Sour Cream (this is not cleanse friendly, so I left this out)
1. In a large pot, saute onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash in olive oil for 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth - enough to cover the vegetables. Add seasonings/spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot and simmer 40 minutes or until veggies are tender.
2. Add sour cream if desired then transfer soup to a blender or use a hand held blender - blend until smooth.
