butternut squash soup. Spice up your life with my Butternut Squash Chipotle Soup
If you haven’t noticed, October – January are soup months in my house. Ryan likes to refer to me as “the soupstress.” This butternut squash chipotle soup is one of my best creations! Another favorite is my detox soup recipe you can get HERE
I actually got the idea from Red O, but this is a million times healthier!
I always want to get soup out, but they’re usually made with heavy creams and cheeses. High in fat and completely unnecessary. Don’y worry…I’ve got you boo!
I could eat squash every day…and I do! I’m weird, but it’s my fave. There are tons of different kinds and it can be put in anything. Pizza, salads, bowls, as pasta, tacos, soups, etc.
My #1 is Butternut Squash. Have you ever just thrown it in the oven with a little olive oil? It’s like candy.
The sweetness that comes out when you roast it makes it a perfect candidate to go with my second favorite thing, chipotle peppers!
Here is what you’ll need….
