Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1/4 cup green onion roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large pot add olive oil and heat for 30 seconds before adding your onions.  Cook them down for 5 minutes on low heat before adding garlic and ginger. Cook for another 3 minutes and stirring often to promote flavour build up. Now add, carrots, butternut squash, zucchini, red pepper and green onion to the pot.  Increase heat to medium-high and place the lid on for 5 minutes.
  2. To the pot, add sea salt, black pepper and vegetable stock paste.  Stir till everything is well coated by the seasoning and paste.
  3. Increase heat to high, and just cover the veg with boiling water.  Bring mixture to boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until carrots are completely cooked.
  4. Add coconut milk before blending till smooth.
  5. Serve with a little drizzling of olive oil, a pinch of pepper, fresh herbs and a light burst of lime juice.
