Butternut squash, a nutritional powerhouse abundant in vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, holds remarkable benefits for both hair and skin.

Butternut Squash Soup


Butternut squash offers a low-calorie, high-fiber option, which is also great for weight loss!

Recognized for its sweet, nutty taste, butternut squash, despite often being seen as a vegetable, falls into the fruit category due to its orange-fleshed winter squash nature.

I’ve had this soup for the last couple of weeks and can’t get enough of it! I’m not a fan of butternut squash, but this soup makes it taste delicious! It is so easy to make I memorized the recipe and restocked the cubed butternut squash from Costco weekly. Cutting can be challenging, and I prefer buying it ready to cook.
