From RAWSOME by Brigette Mars (a great book)!

Raw winter squash may sound like a tough chew,

but when it is pureed, it becomes qite tender and flavorful.

Yield: 4 servings

1 acorn squash or butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup almond butter

1 TBSP. curry powder (recipe to follow) or curry powder of your choice

1/2 teas. nutmeg

4 cups water

1/2 inch ginger root

1/2 teas. celtic sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly.

Note from Beth-

(Everyone loved this soup! another great recipe that doesn't see 'raw'. I even let it warm up in the Vita-mix blender so I was able to serve it as a warmed soup. I used a small butternut squash, it needed a bit more sea salt, I used a bit less curry - I suggest to taste. I am very interested to try Brigitte Mars curry next time - recipe below).
