My uncle recently gave me a giant butternut squash from his farm. It sat in my kitchen for a week until I decided to cook it. I always love a good soup, so I decided to be creative with what I had in my fridge and create a butternut concoction.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut Squash
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
  • a bunch of baby carrots
  • few celery stalks
  • Low sodium Chicken broth
  • Salt n Peppa

Preparation:

  • Saute the onions and garlic in a little olive oil and let it brown.
  • Add in the chopped celery and baby carrots and stir.
  • Sprinkle your cinnamon and Salt n Peppa to season the mixture. When you see the mix turning brown, then add your low sodium chicken broth and let it simmer.
  • Add your chopped butternut squash and cover.
  • Let it cook on low for about an hour.
  • Puree the soup in a blender and it’s ready to pour and serve!

Top this with a little low-fat sour cream or sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top. Serve with a whole grain roll.

    Yummy!
