Super Easy Butternut Squash Soup

So I totally understand that not everyone has all the time in the world to make these elaborate healthy meals. Not to mention the majority of people don't have all the crazy ingredients those meals require. Making healthy meals can be just as simple as making those fast microwaveable meals that are filled with who knows what. When I started reading other fitness blogs I literally wanted to make every recipe I found and soon realized I had to go on a huge grocery run and spend loads of money. This is why I am going to try to introduce several quick and healthy meals that are basically considered "cooking for dummies." A couple of nights ago I made this super easy butternut squash soup that was SO good.

Ingredients: 1 bag of cut up butternut squash (got mine from Trader Joes), chicken or vegetable broth, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. 

Directions: Toss squash pieces with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 (can even microwave for 5 minutes if you have no time). Put baked squash and and broth in blender until blended smooth. Place on stove on low for 5 minutes. Then serve! 

Top with whatever toppings you feel necessary (I used Cinnamon) and can add a little cream to make it thicker.

This was the perfect amount for 2 people. If making for more than 2 then double the recipe.

Perfect Pair: Grilled Cheese!! I made a vegetable grilled cheese with 2 pieces of oatmeal bread, veggies, and vegan cheese. Jack (my boyfriend) made his with regular cheese. Hate it admit it, but his was better! 

Hope yall enjoy!
