Ingredients for WW Butternut Squash Soup
7 Simple Ingredients...

Butternut Squash - Pick a fresh one - You can tell if your butternut squash is ripe by the color and texture of the outer rind. If there are any green spots, it's definitely not ready to cook. The skin should be hard and not at all glossy, and an even color.


Vegetable Broth - I used vegetable broth for this recipe to make a vegan butternut squash soup but if you are not vegan and would like additional benefits I recommend making a bone broth butternut squash soup using something like Kettle & Fire Organic Bone Broth.


Spices - Curry, Ginger, Nutmeg and Garlic gave this recipe its bold flavors.
