Begin by sauteing the onions in the olive oil. When the onions begin to brown, add the garlic. Allow the garlic to cook with the onions for another few minutes. Next, add all of the remaining ingredients, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until the butternut squash is tender - about 20 minutes. Allow the soup to cool a bit before transferring it to a blender. Blend at medium speed in intervals, venting any steam that accrues during the process. Blend until creamy and smooth. Serve and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and cracked black pepper.
For an additional skin tonifying quality, add a pinch of turmeric.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
