Ingredient list:
  • 3 Tablespoons ghee
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons grated or minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 large (about 2 pounds) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced (food processor works great for slicing)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups acceptable stock (chicken or turkey preferred)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground white peppercorns (A and AB omit pepper) 1/3 cup acceptable oil for frying
  • 1 ounce fresh ginger root, finely julienned
  • 1 lime, cut into paper thin slices


How to make it:
  • Melt the ghee in a large pot over low heat.
  • Add the onion and grated ginger and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the squash, water, broth and garlic.
  • Cover and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the squash is very tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture in small batches to a blender or the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Return the soup to the pot and add the lime juice. Season with the salt (and pepper for O's and B's). Reheat the soup over low heat.
  • Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot, but not smoking.
  • Add the julienned ginger and cook until pale golden brown.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve the soup in warm soup plates or bowls.
  • Float a slice of lime on each serving and sprinkle with the fried ginger.
