Healthy doesn't have to mean tasteless, as this rich and creamy soup proves
A good butternut squash soup should be flavourful and rich
Be more adventurous! Never tried butternut, hubbard or acorn squash? Once each month, put a fresh food into your shopping cart that you haven’t tried before: a vegetable such as eggplant or red chard, a grain like quinoa or spelt, a fresh herb like cilantro or Italian parsley, a fruit such as pomello, mangosteen, or simply a different variety of local apple or pear.
Experimenting with fresh whole foods, prepared in a creative, healthy way, will remind you that food is fun!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine squash, stock, onions and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about
20 minutes, or until squash is tender. Remove bay leaf.
2. In blender, purée soup in batches until smooth.
3. Return to pan and reheat if necessary. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper
to taste.
4. To serve, ladle into soup bowls. Swirl 2 tablespoons yogurt or coconut milk into each. (Soup can be cooled and frozen for up for 2 months; thaw and reheat.)
Makes 8 servings, each about ¾ cup.
