We’re in love with this immune-supporting (and nourishing) soup here at OB (especially if you’re having sniffles this soup is amazing).
Did you know that butternut squash is lower in sugar than other starchy veggies and is high in Vitamin B6 (needed to support the nervous system in times of stress)? And our Baobab also contains magnesium (for de-stressing), potassium and Vitamin C for a healthy immune system.
Plus ginger, goji and shiitake mushrooms give it extra powers to keep you sneeze-free!
INGREDIENTS:
- ½ butternut squash, peeled
- ½ - 1 cup vegetable stock (or water)
- 4 large shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
- 1 green chilli pepper, seeds removed and sliced

- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2-inch ginger piece, peeled and minced
- A handful goji berries
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Organic Burst Baobab
- Cold pressed sesame oil to garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
METHOD:
- Cube the butternut squash.
- In a large pot, heat coconut oil. Sauté ginger, onions, garlic, and chilli peppers until onions are soft.
