Two Squash Soup
Two Squash Soup
Very healthy and slimming. Lots of vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients from all the vegetables. And very low in calorie density! A bowl contains just 100 calories. A bowl of regular squash soup, which is often loaded with fatty, heart-damaging ingredients like butter and cream, can easily tally up 400 calories.
Yield: 12 8-ounce serving

- 1 cup onions chopped
- 1 butternut squash cut in half and seeds scooped out
- 2 acorn squash cut in halves and seeds scooped out
