Butternut squash is definitely my food of choice lately. This fall harvest treat should have been on my radar long ago. I’ve been missing out. No more.
Last week I whipped up a tasty butternut squash and chickpea salad. This morning I set my sights on making a tasty Spicy Butternut Squash soup. My Vitamix makes every soup possible in a matter of minutes.
I used this Recipe: 2 cups of butternut squash, dash of salt, a few whole peppercorns, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 clove of garlic and a dash of cumin. I blended for about 6 minutes. Piping hot! Next time I will blend for less time because it wasn’t as thick as I like soup.
Butternut Squash Health Benefits:
- Low in fat
- Source of Potassium
- Source of Vitamin B6
- Source of Beta-Carotene
- High antioxidant content
I whipped up enough for lunches this week. I’ve been so bored with my lunches lately. This will be a nice change especially in this cold weather. Yay for soup!
