I love making my own soup because, well, homemade just tastes better than any soup that I could buy in a can or a box. Honestly, it really doesn’t take that long to make a good pot of soup, so this is my go-to dinner several days a week during the fall and winter.

Health benefits of butternut squash
Butternut squash are a part of the curcurbitaceae family and is one of the oldest known crops. This centuries old food may be primitive, but is still a cooking staple today because it is packed with goodness!
I just one cup of butternut squash, you get:
- More than 100% of your daily requirement of vitamin A, which is good for immunity and is excellent for your eyes.
- Nearly 40% of your daily requirement of vitamin C, which is good for immunity and may also be beneficial in fighting high blood pressure.
- About 15% of your daily requirement of magnesium, which is essential for bone health and calcium absorption.
- About 18% of your daily requirement of potassium, and can help with high blood pressure, heart and kidney disorders.
- About 5% of your daily requirement of calcium, which we all know is essential for strong bones.
Now, the version of this soup that I am going to make is vegan, but if you’d rather add cream than almond milk, that is totally fine too.
