Get an incredible amount of healthy nutrients with this Butternut Squash Lentil Carrot Soup with an added Collagen Boost! The delicious butternut squash and carrots are an incredible source of vitamin A, great for your vision and immune function. To keep us strong, the squash and collagen protein help in bone growth and joint pain reduction, as well as alleviating arthritis and inflammation. And all those spices aren’t just for that mouth-watering taste—the Superfood Turmeric and cumin have fantastic anti-inflammatory and gut-healing properties. In addition, who doesn’t love a soup that’s both healthy and filling? The abundance of fiber from the vegetables and lentils keep you satisfied and help lower those nasty cholesterol levels, promoting healthy circulation. The added collagen makes this soup wonderfully soothing for the tummy. In fact, collagen is essential to a healthy gut: collagen regulates stomach digestion, preventing an overly acidic environment that can lead to heartburn and ulcers. Make this soup once and you’ll be begging for more!

Further Food Commentary:

This soup provides so many nutritional benefits! Not only is the squash flesh rich in soluble fiber to help lower cholesterol for heart health, the seeds are rich in iron, potassium, zinc and insoluble fiber to help prevent constipation .
And did you know that the darker the flesh of the squash the more beta-carotene it provides? Beta-carotene converts to vitamin A, which plays important roles in healthy cell function, bone growth and immune function.
If you’re sensitive to onions and garlic (IBS & IBD folks), just take them out. The soup will still be amazing.

Founder's story:

"My father had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my mom was
managing her hypothyroid, and my best friend was struggling with painful IBS.
I went online to search for food-based and natural solutions that could help
them heal. But what I found was scattered, disorganized, and left me more confused. I thought, ‘There must be an easier way to discover solutions for various ailments from real experts and from people who had done it themselves. So I decided to build a resource—a platform for food as medicine solutions
for all your health needs. And I decided to take the wisdom from this community to create real food based products that heal.

    on the meal plan this is listed as Gingered Butternut Squash soup but when you click on the link it brings you to this recipe that has a different name & no ginger added at all.
    Is there a recipe for Gingered Butternut Squash Soup some where?
