Ingredients



    2 onions, chopped
    3 stalks celery, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
    8 cups vegetable stock or water
    2 3/4 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    2 tablespoons tamari
    2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
    1 cup plain soy milk


    I left out the maple syrup and just added a little bit of Stevia to give it the syrup sweetness.
    I also used water instead of the vegetable broth, but next time I will probably try to the broth in hopes of giving it more flavor.

Directions

Cook onions, celery, garlic, and ginger in water in a heavy saucepan for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the stock and squash, cover, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Stir in the maple syrup, tamari, orange zest, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Using a handheld immersion blender, puree the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, working in small batches, puree in a regular blender until smooth. Stir in the soymilk.

Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg and serve.

The soup will keep for 2 days, covered and refrigerated.

It makes a ton of soup and I'm pretty sure I had more than 6 servings. Definitely low calorie if you take out those things.
