Skinny Soup Recipe: Butternut Squash and Carrot
I’m finally starting to feel that bit of chill in the air and finding myself heating up the tea kettle more and more for afternoon tea, and have already scheduled my appointment with my beloved Box Butler to bring my cozy fall sweaters out of hiding and back into my wardrobe. While I still am the same salad addict as always (Have you checked out my favorite Easy Southwest Style Kale Salad yet?), soup steals my heart in the chilly months. I will say this though – I absolutely HATE buying canned soup because it’s loaded with huge amounts of unnecessary sodium. So, I love making my favorite, Skinny Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup, homemade so that I have control over the ingredients.
Tips for making this skinny soup recipe
For me, I make this in large batches and freeze it for my lunches, because my boys rarely like to look at vegetables. More for me, right? But seriously you will love how filling this is for lunch and uber healthy, keeping you right on track with your fitness goals and healthy lifestyle. My only warning is not to let your hand slip whenever sprinkling in the Rosemary and pepper because it can produce and unwanted spicy taste (I learned from experience).
- 1 bag of frozen organic butternut squash
- 1 bag frozen organic carrots
- 2 large red apples
- 16 oz organic chicken broth
- 1 sweet onion
- Sprinkle of salt, pepper, and rosemary
- Put your crock pot on low
- Peel and dice your apples and onion into small pieces, throw in crock pot with chicken broth
- Empty your bags of carrot and butternut squash into the crock pot
- Sprinkle in just a small amount of salt, pepper, and rosemary
- Let sit in crock pout on low for 5 hours, stirring occasionally
- Once everything is warm and softened, remove from crock pot and pour into your food processor and blend until you reach your desired consistency
My absolute favorite food processor to use is our Ninja Master Prep Professional
