This butternut squash soup recipe is absolutely delicious. It is so easy to make and cooks in no time at all.
This soup is my moms creation and is really yummy and healthy too. Butternuts are so healthy, packed full of beta-carotene and vitamin C. They are also high in potassium which helps to lower blood pressure and folic acid which reduces the risk of heart attack and prevents birth defects if taken by pregnant woman. This soup is really high in fiber which is essential for intestinal health and helps prevents intestinal cancers such as colon cancer.
This soup is loved by my whole family - it often feels like such an accomplishment to find recipes that my children love so I make this soup often and always have some in the freezer for those days when I don't have time to cook a meal. I simply defrost, reheat and serve - it couldn't be easier!
