This Quick and Healthy Butternut Squash Soup is exactly that: quick and healthy (but it's delicious, too!)
This Quick and Healthy Butternut Squash Soup is exactly that: quick and healthy! In just a few short steps, you will have a silky smooth and flavorful soup that’s perfect for a brisk fall night. We skinnied up traditional butternut squash soup by using coconut milk instead of cream and apples instead of sugar. To pair with all that sweetness, we then added ginger, nutmeg, and curry for a punch of flavor.
When you’re ready to enjoy, ladle your meal into your favorite soup mug and garnish with some light sour cream. This soup would be perfect with some Clean Eating Grilled Cheese as well!
