    <h2 class="block-title"><span>Directions</span></h2>

                            <li>In a large pot over medium heat, melt ghee or heat oil, then add garlic. When garlic is fragrant (about 2 minutes), add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.</li>
                                    <li>Add coconut sugar and spices and cook until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.</li>
                                    <li>Add cubed butternut squash and cook for 5 until the squash begins to soften. Add broth and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, turn down heat and simmer until squash is tender, about 20 minutes. </li>
                                    <li>Purée the soup in batches in a blender until it is smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot, bring to a boil, and let reduce for 10 minutes, until thickened slightly. Taste the soup and add more curry powder, salt, and/or pepper, if desired. </li>
                                    <li>Garnish with croutons and/or chopped cilantro, if desired, a drizzle of coconut milk, and a pinch of ground black pepper.</li>
