Hoff's Raw Winter Squash Soup

Hoff's Raw Winter Squash Soup
Serves: 2
meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Squash (peeled & cubed)
• 2 1/2 cups Water
• 1 tbsp. Sun-dried Tomatoes
• 1 tsp.Cumin
• 1 tsp. Sea Salt
• 1/2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a Vitamix & blend until heated
2. Serve immediately

Hoff Thoughts: When eating raw, food should not exceed 118 degrees.  A Vitamix should raise the temperature of food 10 degrees every minute it is run. However, my Vitamix runs hotter; it's a good practice to use a meat thermometer to test how hot this sauce gets based on how long you run your machine.  Three minutes for me = 115 degrees.
