Now, I must put away my flip-flops and bring out my fuzzy warm buggs. So ready for the changing season that I have begun cooking up some fall dishes. Such as, this velvety slightly sweet with a hint of spice roasted butternut squash soup.
The sexy hourglass shaped fruit, known as the butternut squash, is a power food high in fiber and low in fat. Its deep, golden color is a sign that it is packed with carotene, an important antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of a number of life-threatening conditions. The butternut squash has more vitamin “A” than that of a pumpkin.
Start your fall off with this fabulously healthy and scrumptious soup. It’s going to be my next Fall Harvest pin on Pinterest!
I’ve been happily pinning fall fashions and fall food on Pinterest too!
