Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil

  • 1 medium white onion, chopped

  • ½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed

  • 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 6 cups water

  • 2 cubes vegetable bouillon

  • 2 teaspoons diced ginger

  • 6 thin strips orange zest

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-low heat and saute onion, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add butternut squash and carrots; cook and stir for a few minutes. Do not let the onions brown.

  2. Add water, vegetable bouillon, ginger, and orange zest to the pot. Increase heat to medium and slowly bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until carrots soften, about 20 minutes.
