If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am a die-hard fan of kabocha.
So, when I was thinking of what to bring to a potluck last weekend, I naturally decided on a kabocha-based dish. A bunch of you guys asked for the recipe, so HERE IT IS!!
This recipe is dairy-free & nut-free. It’s also creamy, rich, healthy, and EASY!
The hardest part is cutting the kabocha lol.
You can also see how I made it in my YouTube vid below! Please subscribe to my channel for more :)

DIRECTIONS:
- Put kabocha and onion in large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes on low boil, or until the kabocha is very soft

OK, I’m seriously dying to try this after seeing it all over your Instagram :) Can’t wait to grab all these ingredients at the store and finally make this! I’ve never tried kabocha, but I’m so intrigued!
