Rinse and chop veggies into chunks approximately one inch or so. Put olive oil in wok or large pan over medium heat and sauté onions and garlic for a few minutes. Then add the other veggies and cook until soft. Throw all the veggies into a blender with milk, spices, and salt, and blend until smooth.You may want to adjust the amount of milk to achieve the consistency that you like. I like it thick and creamy. Enjoy! *Preparing butternut squash is quite easy. Cut off ends, cut lengthwise, scoop seeds out, slice into eighths lengthwise and steam in steaming basket over 1 inch water in covered pan on stove unit soft, then peel. Or, cut into chunks, peel, and throw into wok or large pot with the other veggies. In this case, I steamed two butternut squash and stored the extra in the fridge for future use.
