This is how I made it Feb 2 2025

I put the ghee in the pot and heated that. Then I added 1 cup of a mix of Sarita mix of brown rice, flax seed and quinoa. I toasted that. Then added 3 cups of water and a handful of lentils. Bring it to a boil. Add in a packet of dashi for a couple of minutes to add flavoring. Boil for 45 minutes. At the end, top with a fried egg, chopped green onions, sunflower seeds and furikake. 

Butternut Squash soup

From Love and Lemons   https://www.loveandlemons.com/butternut-squash-soup/ 

This vegan butternut squash soup is the ultimate fall comfort food! Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze it for up to a few months.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 (3-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• ½ tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
• Freshly ground black pepper

For serving

• Chopped parsley
• Toasted pepitas
• Crusty bread

Instructions

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, then add 3 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and serve with parsley, pepitas, and crusty bread
