Butternut Squash Soup


I made some butternut squash soup the other day with some of the squash I loaded up on at the pumpkin patch.  It was so good I wanted to eat the whole pot.  Here's the recipe.   

Ingredients :
  • medium size (25 to 30 oz) butternut squash, cubed
  • 1/2 medium size onion, chopped
  • 1 small apple, chopped
  • 3 cans fat free vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1+ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
Add all ingredients to crock pot (slow cooker) and cook on low 8 to 10 hours or on high 3 to 5 hours.  When squash is soft, put all in blender and puree.  

1 cup is just 1 point or 1/2 cup is zero points.

Hi there,

I found your site from the ww website. I just made this soup but just on the stove, not on the slow cooker. I'm wondering if that changes the texture or anything? I liked it a lot but it's not very creamy (not that it needs to be, I guess I could add a little ff yogurt).

Anyhow, good luck on your weight loss! You are kicking a$$ already! :)

Yah, I wouldn't mind it being creamier either. But, I feel good when I eat it because it's all fruit & veggies.
