Healthy & Delicious Roasted Butternut Squash Soup – After all the camping and socializing we’ve been doing lately I’m trying to eat healthier meals during the week. Soup is always one of my favorite lunch choices – especially since I freeze individual meal size packages for a quick and convenient lunch. I have a few “go-to” soup recipes but this has recently become one of my most frequent picks. This recipe is really flavorful and the rich, creamy texture helps to make you feel really full and satisfied.
Healthy & Delicious Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
INGREDIENTS
1 large squash
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can coconut milk
1 tsp oil
1/2 onion chopped
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh ginger chopped finely
1/2 tsp curry powder (or paste)
juice of 1/2 a lime (or more if you like your soup more tangy)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or more if you like it spicier)
cilantro or parsley for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- Prepare and bake squash in over for 1 hour. Once the squash is cool, scoop all the squash meat out of the shell.
