When it comes to healthy eating in the dead of Winter, I love nothing more than a hearty bowl of soup. Nourishing, satisfying, comforting and delicious – it is the ideal form of comfort food.
Roasting the squash in the oven before pureeing into soup allows the flesh to caramelize and release natural sugars. The end result? Maximum flavor without a lot of added fat and calories. In fact, there isn’t a drop of butter or cream in this soup.
Your bikini will thank me in a couple months.

I often make squash soup with curry or ginger (I usually add in carrots too) I often cheat and buy the cut up squash…. call me lazy.
