Instructions

For the butternut squash soup

  1. In a large dutch oven or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and fragrant; add in the spices and sauté about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Place the prepared, peeled butternut squash cubes into the dutch oven.
  3. To the pot, add the chopped apples, sweet potato cubes, broth, salt and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Add in the can of coconut milk.
  6. Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth.
  7. Return the soup to the pot once complete. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  8. Top with crispy brussel sprouts and bacon over the soup. 

For the brussels and bacon

  1. Finely chop brussel sprouts; cut the bottoms and use a food processor to make it easier. Place finely chopped brussel sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle over maple sweetener, salt and pepper.
  2. Cover the brussel sprouts with a baking and cooling rack and place the bacon on top.
  3. Bring up to heat in an oven at 420 degrees. Roast for 12-15 minutes in the oven. Take out the pan, give the brussel sprouts a quick stir and flip the bacon then place back in the oven to roast another 10-12 minutes to your desired crispiness.
