Preheat oven to 375 . Rinse the butternut squash, slice lengthwise

squash into a large blender.

coconut milk, filtered water and cinnamon stick in a 3 qt pot, cook on
medium high heat until yams are thoroughly cooked, approximately 30
minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool
10-15 minutes.

Remove cinnamon stick, add nama shoyu and maple syrup, place in
blender with squash and blend according to instructions on page 36 of
cookbook. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix well and enjoy.
Garnish with black sesame seeds and a leaf of mint or cilantro. The
flavor of this soup may vary according to the sweetness of the yams and
squash, add maple syrup to taste
