Ingredients

6 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
6 cups water
2 cubes vegetable bouillon
2 teaspoons diced ginger
6 thin strips orange zest
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-low heat and saute onion, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add butternut squash and carrots; cook and stir for a few minutes. Do not let the onions brown.
Add water, vegetable bouillon, ginger, and orange zest to the pot. Increase heat to medium and slowly bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until carrots soften, about 20 minutes.
Remove orange zest strips and discard. Blend soup into a smooth puree using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.
