Recipe Ingredients

SOUP

• 1 Large Butternut Squash, peeled, deseeded, and roughly chopped into 2″ cubes
• 1 Small White Onion, diced
• 1 Small Leek, chopped
• 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 2 Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 Quarts Vegetable Broth
• 2 Tbsp MRM Organic Red Beet Powder

SALAD

• Leftover Roasted Squash
• Mixed Greens
• 1/4 Cup Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts
• 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 Tbsp MRM Organic Red Beet Powder

Recipe Directions

SOUP

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, salt and pepper, and place on the lined tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until nicely browned.
4. While the squash is roasting, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, leek, and carrot to the pot and slowly cook down for 5-6 minutes stirring continuously and being sure not to brown the ingredients.
5. Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat until you have a slow simmer. Simmer until the squash is finished roasting.
7. Remove squash from the oven and place 2/3rds of it into the soup pot. Put the remaining 1/3 of the squash to the side and allow to cool as you will use this for the salad.
8. Carefully transfer the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. You may have to do this in a few separate batches, which is totally fine.
9. Once all of the soup is blended, stir in the red beet powder.
10. Pour into bowls and set aside to be served with salad.

SALAD

1. Mix balsamic vinegar and olive oil together in a bowl with the Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt.
2. Combine greens, roasted squash, pumpkin seeds, shallots, and walnuts together in a bowl.
3. Mix the salad with the dressing or serve with the dressing on the side.
4. Sprinkle Red Beet powder over the top of the salad and serve with the soup.
5. Enjoy!
