OK, so I don’t mean to be a bragasaurus and all, but this dairy free, roasted sweet potato and butternut squash soup is the bomb-diggity (am I showing my age?). I often have a hard time finding soups that are filling enough to eat for lunch. I have breakfast at 6 in the morning, do a mile and a half walk with my pup, run to a pilates or yoga class, then boogie on over to work. So by the time lunch comes ’round I’m STARVING.
I came up with this recipe when I was gabbing with my friends about their Thanksgiving feasts. I used to love my mom’s butternut squash soup, but the heavy cream and butter she uses just doesn’t sit well with me anymore. So, in a fit of cravings, I adjusted her yummy recipe to be low-histamine and paleo compliant. The best part is, since I include a couple scoops of my Collagen Peptides, this soup is so filling.
This is also a great soup that you can freeze and enjoy later. Feel free to add pumpkin seeds if you can tolerate them, a dash of cayenne for some heat or a dollop of applesauce.
