Butternut Sweet Potato Soup
1 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2 - Cut the edges of the butternut squash using a sharp knife. Next, peel it using a peeler and roughly chop it.
Tip: We recommend you use a chef's knife for this task. We love Japanese knives and recommend this quality kit from GLOBAL for home and professional chefs. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
3 - Add the chopped butternut squash to a baking tray lined with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) and transfer it to a 400°F (200°C) oven to bake for about 30 minutes.
4 - Meanwhile, peel and chop the sweet potato as well as the onion. Add them to a large pot (or like us a cast iron dutch oven) and fill it with water. Place it over high heat and cook until tender.
Tip: Staub and Le Creuset are some of the best brands money can buy. Here, we used this fantastic cast iron dutch oven from Le Creuset and are very happy with it! For more recommended bakeware and cookware, check out our article: "The Best Non-Toxic Pots & Pans: Our Must-Have Cookware List".
5 - Roughly chop the apple, making sure to remove the core. Crush and peel the garlic cloves.
6 - Finally, add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for a couple of minutes until the soup is nice a smooth.
Tip: Vitamix blenders are by far the best we have ever owned: Vitamix Explorian, Vitamix Professional Series 750, and the new generation Vitamix A3500.

7 - Serve the soup in a soup bowl and garnish it with fresh cilantro.
8 - Enjoy!
