  • 1/2 cup half-and-half or milk of choice (optional) How To Make It: 1. Peel and seed the butternut squash, then cut into cubes; place in a large pot with water, cover with a lid, bring to boil over high heat then reduce heat until simmering gently for 20 minutes or until soft when pierced with fork; drain well before proceeding

  • 2 cups chicken broth

Sweet Potato Soup

Sweet potatoes are more than just a Thanksgiving side dish. They’re also incredibly versatile and healthy, which makes them perfect for any time of year. This sweet potato soup is one of the best ways to use this superfood in your diet.

The soup is easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients–and it can be ready in under 20 minutes! You’ll need:

  • One large sweet potato (about 2 cups), peeled and chopped into cubes
  • Two cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • One tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

To start off, heat up your olive oil over medium heat until it becomes fragrant; then add in your chopped sweet potatoes and cook them until they become soft enough that you can easily pierce them with a fork but not so soft that they fall apart completely when stirred or mashed up later on during blending time (about five minutes). Next comes adding some salt and pepper before pouring both types of liquid into a blender along with any leftover bits left behind after chopping up those veggies; blend until smooth!
