This soup is a very creamy and savory soup packed with lots of flavor.
If you are a squash lover, then you will LOVE this recipe.
Also it is great served up with a side of coconut flour dinner biscuits too 🙂
Butternut squash contains a lot of good fiber and nutrients making it a heart healthy food.
It also contains a good amount of potassium (needed for strong bones and a healthy heart) too and is rich in antioxidants which are free radical scavengers to help protect from various cancers in the body.
Also being rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A it helps boost the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Because butternut squash is low in calories but high in fiber it makes a great nutrient dense option on any weight loss plan. Happy dance 🙂

1- medium size butternut squash roasted
5 -cups organic chicken broth
