Instructions
Heat ghee or oil in large pot over low heat.
Once fragrant, add fresh ginger and all dry spices. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until fragrant. Add onion/shallot and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add butternut squash and stir to coat. Then cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add vegetable broth and maple syrup.
Bring to a low boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until butternut squash is fork tender.
Use an immersion blender, or transfer soup to a blender, and purée on high until creamy and smooth. If using a blender, return soup back to pot.
Stir in milk or cream. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or sweetener as needed. Continue cooking for a few more minutes over medium heat.
