Warming Butternut Squash Soup

As the colder weather sets in and winter makes its presence known, hunkering down with a steaming bowl of soup can be both comforting and nourishing. This year, boost the health benefits of your meal even further by adding the incredible power of medicinal mushrooms to it.

Medicinal mushrooms are not your run-of-the-mill fungus. They contain immune system activating beta-glucans, along with other polysaccharides, which make them the perfect addition to fighting off those sneaky little germs that might be coming your way.

We all love easy ways to keep ourselves healthy, right?

Making medicinal mushrooms an integral part of your food is an effortless way to support your immune system and overall health.

Bonus perk of these mushrooms? No chopping or slicing required!

2 TBS Raw Organic Pumpkin Seeds

1 Scallion, diced

2 cloves Garlic

2 sprigs Fresh Thyme

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine coconut oil, onion, garlic and thyme and melt on medium heat until the onion has become softened (about 5 minutes).

Transfer contents of the pan to a blender. Add the cumin, salt, pumpkin seeds, and mushroom powder to the mixture. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and blend until contents are well combined and you achieve a creamy consistency.
