Save Your Health (and money) with Soup!

I strongly believe that preparing a delicious clean and simple meal is faster than ordering in. And the long term benefits are astounding. 

You will save money, you will maintain your weight and you will take pride in the fact of knowing that you mindfully crafted a meal in your own kitchen. This fact alone will hopefully, inspire you to cook! 

Here is a simple, light (and quick) vegetarian soup recipe that I always follow.

Quick Butternut Squash Soup

1. Take a Butternut Squash and chop into cubes.

2. Saute in 2 tbsps of olive oil with 1 chopped white or golden onion until onions are soft.

3. Add 6 cups of organic Vegetable Broth and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Puree in a blender or Vitamix. 

5. Season with sea salt, pepper and nutmeg.

If you would like a little something to dip into the soup, toast up some delicious Mochi bread (find it at Whole Foods with the refrigerated breads). It is gluten, yeast and dairy-free, and great for those of us with food intolerances. 

I had this Butternut Squash soup for dinner tonight and will have it for lunch tomorrow with some avocado and cooked lentils added to my soup. 

Asparagus and carrot soup can be made the same way. 

Try adding some curry if you are making only Carrot soup.

happy cooking!
