I seriously had the most lovely day today. I got Stella and Troy off to training this morning and then sat in peace, had a cup of coffee, watched the morning news and caught up on some emails. At about 10 I moseyed out of the house for a 10:30 massage. It was AMAZING. Stopped by the boutique to check in and to drop off a few things, then the grocery store, an hour and 1/2 hike with Gus (it was 50 degrees and beautiful), an hour at the office, then dinner cooking time. I kept it simple tonight and made some chicken, broccoli and coucous.
I found a recipe online that I've wanted to try so after dinner was prepped I went for it!
Probably the simplest, yummiest, healthy soups I'm made in a while. Organic butternut squash soup. It only takes 5 ingredients, butternut, onion, fresh ginger, garlic, and chicken stock.
Started off by chopping up 1/2 a white onion, about a fingers length of ginger and a clove of garlic.
I sautéed the onions for a bit and then added the garlic and ginger for a few more minutes.
This next step was the hardest part of all of it. Luckily the organic squash was on sale today (woot) so I bought a few extra so if this recipe turned out I could make some more. I pealed, gutted and grated the squash.
Into the pot went the squash and 4 cups of chicken broth. Simple Truth Organic is my favorite. I let everything boil for 20 minutes. Let it cool for a few and then used my little handy, handheld bender to blend it all together.
Whoa-la!
The perfect butternut squash soup.
Hope y'all are having a lovely weekend
Love and Gratitude!
