Soup’s On
Tonight I decided to make some soup! I kind of just put stuff together hoping it would turn out well… it did!
First I sautéed 1 carrot and 1 parsnip with I white onion and 2 cloves garlic in ½ tbsp EVOO. Once they veggies were softened up I added 14 oz butternut squash soup and 14 oz chicken broth. I let it all simmer for about 10 minutes and then added ¾ cup butter beans and 1 tsp garlic/onion powder seasoning. I then took my immersion blender and blended it all together leaving a few chunks. It was quick and easy and it tasted fabulous. I paired my soup with a slice of sprouted 16 grain bread w/ some Earth Balance spread. It wasn’t a large meal so I’m sure I will be hungry in a bit. Stay tuned for snack/dessert!

Hi! I found your website from your comments on Katheats, and just wanted to wish you luck with it. Your soup looks great tonight! I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, and it’s always fun to see another mom who is passionate about food. Fun to think we’re instilling good habits in our little girls at an early age!
I don’t know why, but I never even thought of making soup like that! What a great idea, thanks!
By the way, I don’t think I mentioned this the other day but your daughter - completely adorable!!
Hope you’re staying warm and having a good evening!
Carter- Thanks for the compliments! I’m so passionate about infant/child nutrition! Sienna hasn’t started solids yet but I’m looking forward to it. It is great to hear about other mom’s trying to instill healthy habits in their kids! Thanks for reading =)
Chandra- the soup was soo easy! I cheat by using store bought soup as the base all the time but who has time to make it from complete scratch? Not me! Let me know if you try it out!
