Yellow x 3 soup
This soup blends up to a silky smooth consistency. It'll come together pretty quickly and reward you with warming spices, sweetness, and a little heat right at the back of the throat. I highly recommend using the ghee as it really complements the butteriness of the squash and sweet potatoes. The recipe is also easily doubled if you like leftovers.
