butternut squash soup

Butternut Squash Soup is a sweet and tart soup and very easy to make; the oven does most of the work. If you’re looking to make a light, healthy, and easy meal, try this simple but delightful soup. This is a vegetarian/vegan recipe.

Butternut squash is rich in beta carotene and vitamin C, and recent studies have shown that it has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a good source of fiber, magnesium, and potassium.

Servings: 4-6
Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a butternut squash
  • 2 green apples, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
  • 3 cups onions, cut into medium cubes
  • 2 tsp olive oil or other
  • 1-2 tsp black pepper powder or to taste
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Heat the oven to 400ºF. Brush the butternut squash with a little oil and place in a baking tray.
  2. Place the onions and apples in another tray, brush lightly with oil and place the oven. Roast for about 40 minutes or until tender, stirring the vegetables a couple of times. Remove and let cool.
  3. Scoop out the squash. Add half the squash and half the veggies along with 2 cups of water and process in a blender until smooth. Remove in a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining squash and veggies.
  4. Place the butternut squash soup on low heat and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Add salt and black pepper powder as needed, and serve warm with toasted bread.
