4 servings

  • 1 Tbsp. oil for sautéing
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about two cups)
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 butternut squash (about 2 ½ lbs.) Peeled, de-seeded, and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 6 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. curry powder
  • ½ tsp. of salt
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • Plain nonfat yogurt for garnish – optional

*Heat the oil over medium heat in a large soup pot.

*Add onion, celery and garlic and cook till softened, approx. 5 minutes

*Add the squash, broth, curry powder, and salt and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes

*Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the honey.

*In two batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Or if you have an immersion blender you can puree your soup right from the pot.

*Taste your soup; add any extra salt or curry powder if needed.  I serve with a dollop of plain nonfat yogurt.
