SWEET AND CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
This filling soup serves well as a healthy dessert (squash is an excellent source of magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and A, and a good source of calcium). It can be served hot or cold and has an interesting texture. I like this recipe because it is simple to make, yet has a lovely flavor. If you enjoy a thicker, more custard-like consistency you can use less than the directed amount of skim milk. If you prefer a soupier thickness, then you should add more skim milk during the simmering process.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Delicious and very easy to make. You can use 3 to 4 cups of chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes. Also works well with half as much cream cheese if you don't want it too rich.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Use a butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid any squash with soft spots or blemishes.
- Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is tender, but not mushy.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and low in sodium.
- Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup is simmering, don't overcook it. Overcooked soup can become watery and bland.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
This sweet and creamy butternut squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal.
