Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash, Pear and Sweet Potato Soup
Hey, Soupers! So earlier in the week, we talked about the times when veggies can be a little ‘unpalatable’. However, there is one point for which most of us can agree: Butternut squash is not yucky. It can NEVER be yucky, in fact! So, what could be better than pairing it with pear and sweet potato and coconut milk? Absolutely nothing. This soup is so creamy and comforting that your family will love it for lunch. When you drizzle on a little pumpkin oil and top the soup off with microgreens and you have a real winner.
