Mmmmm… soup. Is there anything better than a warm, delicious bowl of soup on a cool, crisp fall day? Um, not really. Although, maybe it’s a tie between that and a mug of healthy hot chocolate in front of the fire…
Anyway, back to the soup. With squash, sweet potato, and carrot, each bowl provides an abundance of the delicious antioxidant beta carotene, not to mention all the other goodies this soup contains, like fibre, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Make some on a Sunday and you can take it to work for lunch every day of the week (it makes a lot)… that’s what I did this week!
2 Tbsp butter (or coconut oil for a dairy free version)
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp grated ginger
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 cups water
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and chopped
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
4 carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
½ cup whipping cream (35%) (or canned coconut milk for a dairy free version)
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Dash cayenne
Melt butter in large soup pot over low heat. Sauté onion until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and sauté another few minutes. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Add squash, sweet potato, carrots, and celery, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Puree with hand blender until smooth. If no hand blender, puree in a food processor, a little at a time. Add whipping cream, sea salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne. Stir. Optional: garnish with green onion (I highly recommend it).
All together now… mmmmmmmm.
Thanks for your publish. I have usually noticed that almost all people are desirous to lose weight as they wish to show up slim as well as attractive. Nonetheless, they do not generally realize that there are additional benefits for you to losing weight as well. Doctors assert that obese people are afflicted by a variety of health conditions that can be instantly attributed to their particular excess weight. Fortunately that people who are overweight as well as suffering from several diseases are able to reduce the severity of the illnesses by means of losing weight. You are able to see a progressive but noticeable improvement with health if even a small amount of weight-loss is reached.
Agreed! There are many a benefit to losing weight. Thanks for your comments. 🙂
