Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 cups chicken broth

1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 teaspoon ground cumin

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 cups water

1 cup quinoa

1 tablespoon butter

Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chicken broth, butternut squash, ginger, and cumin to onion and simmer over medium heat until squash is very soft, about 20 minutes.

Pour squash mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Season soup with salt and pepper.

Bring salted water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon butter into cooked quinoa and season with salt. Spoon quinoa into soup.
