I am obsessed with butternut squash! Well, let me back up...I am obsessed with sweet potatoes! But, I love butternut squash because it tastes almost just like sweet potatoes and isn't as starchy of a vegetable (plus it counts as a green instead of a yellow for all my fellow 21 Day Fixers:) Anyway, I usually just roast it and season with salt and pepper and maybe a little coconut oil and cinnamon. YUM!!!! But, I HATE cutting a butternut squash and I HATE having to get the seeds out. I know that sounds like a spoiled brat, but it is seriously hard to cut a raw butternut squash...try it! So I have found these awesome little bags of pre-cut/pre-seeded butternut squash that you can either roast or even steam in the microwave! SCORE!!! (I found my most recent butternut squash at Trader Joe's, but I have also found it at Target.) I love steaming it in the microwave for a super quick side dish, but the other night I made butternut squash soup and it was so simple and so good. Here is what I used: -1 package cut butternut squash soup -1 cup organic chicken broth (I used the Pacific brand with low-sodium) -a dollop of coconut cream (I didn't measure, but it was probably 2 Tablespoons or so) -salt and pepper Steam butternut squash in microwave for 5 minutes (puncture bag). Heat chicken broth in microwave or stovetop. Put all ingredients in a food processor, nutribullet, or blender and blend until smooth. Voila! Super simple and extremely creamy and delicious! Hope you enjoy!
