  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp tumeric Powder
  • 2 cups butternut squash
  • ½ tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1 can white kidney beans
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3/4 tsp salt, to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable stock

  • Add oil, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, salt and onion to a medium pot. Simmer for 5 minutes
  • Add butternut squash and pan fry for 10 minutes mixing and cooking until squash is firm but tender. 
  • Add the rest of the ingredients except corn starch and white beans
  • Take a cupful of stock from the pan and add your corn starch and mix until the corn starch is dissolved.
  • Add to pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 2 more minsutes. Taste for salt and lemon.

Notes

  1. I use pink salt for this recipe. Using table salt may alter the saltiness of this recipe
  2. Fried sage is easily made with pan frying sage for a few minutes with a pinch of salt to garnish the soup with
