Warming Squash Bisque

[Maeve]

This is one of my favorite soups. It warms
your innards and is very easy. (BTW, for new folks, yams should be used sparingly in macrobiotics.)

Half medium butternut squash (diced large)
Large red jewel yam (diced medium)
Ginger juice

Peel and dice the squash and yam(s). Put in
a soup pot and add just enough water to cover. Boil for about 30 minutes. Puree through food mill. Pour the puree back into
the pot and add a LOT of ginger juice (to taste and give it a nice bite - it also tastes good if a little of the ginger pulp gets into the soup). Warm for another 5 minutes.

If the soup is not sweet enough, you can add
another cooked, pureed yam or some brown rice syrup. If desired, you can also add cinnamon or cardamon or nutmeg. I prefer it
plain.

Enjoy,
Maeve
