Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (Gluten-Free, High Iron)

Print

It’s an ancient Ayurvedic practice to eat with the seasons so I like to encourage my clients to take advantage of seasonal produce to promote health & wellbeing. This butternut squash soup recipe is naturally sweet and perfect for the 30-Day Wellness Warriors Sugar Detox that I offer through my practice, MyHealthyTransitions Health Coaching, or for the Further Food Sugar Detox Challenge. Pair with a simple protein and greens or enjoy as a breakfast with a poached egg and greens.

Further Food Commentary:

There's nothing better than enjoying produce while its in season and at its most nutritious and delicious! Butternut squash is a fall vegetable and always makes for a delicious soup! This antioxidant rich soup is perfect for boosting that immune system because each serving provides you with 80% of your daily Vitamin C needs and 480% of your daily Vitamin A needs! Butternut squash is also a natural source of fiber and provides 5g per serving here which is great for keeping you regular and satiety. Enjoy!
