Make It This Way
Try swapping out butternut squash for kabocha squash. It’s the new and improved butternut squash, with a sweeter taste and a firmer flesh. It even has fewer calories and carbs than its older counterpart. Make this soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead, and removing the chicken. Roasting the diced squash first with a bit of coconut oil, salt and pepper for 30 minutes will help to enhance the flavours.
Try This
Serve the soup with some finely chopped parsley on top, or add a crunch factor by garnishing with some toasted pumpkin seeds instead. Drizzling with truffle oil would also up the wow factor.
