Eating healthy usually means staying away from creamy soups like butternut squash soup. Typically, they have lots of cream and butter in them.
But, there is no reason you cannot have a hearty soup like this and still eat healthy.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 large onion. chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 large butternut squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 teaspoons plain nonfat yogurt
Directions
Heat the oil in a large soup pot.
Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly till soft. Do not brown.
Add the squash, broth, curry and salt and bring to boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the squash is tender. About 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the honey.
Purée with an immersion blender (if using a regular blender, do not fill the container more than half way… trust me 🙂
Season with salt if necessary.
