Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

1 Large Squash
1 Large Onion, chopped
Spray oil
1 Litre Vegetable Stock
Pinch of cinamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of ginger
Black Pepper

Cut squash in half, score the flesh, spray with a little oil and black pepper. Roast until flesh is soft.
Fry onion until soft with a little spray oil, add stock and bring to the boil.
Add butternut squash and simmer for 15 mins.
Remove from heat and blend until smooth. I use a stick blender.
If too thick for your taste, add a little water.
Put back on low heat and add spices and black pepper to taste.

This will serve about 6 to 8 people and is around 80 calories per serving. It's a real winter warmer and it freezes really well.

Enjoy! x

bump my hubby loves soup

I don't know if these are on her yet, but these are some of mine that I have posted, and one that I stole from another post about crock-pots that sounded really yummy! I LOVE my crock-pot in the Fall!

Place above items in a large crock-pot and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Then put ½ of the mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. Return it to the crock-pot and stir into the mixture. Repeat the process one more time. The add the following ingredients:

2 T. Cilantro chopped

Continue to cook for 30 minutes. Add freshly squeezed lime to each bowl before serving. Serve with cheese, salsa, and tortilla chips.

Pumpkin Chicken White Bean Chili~ It is the season and this is really good!
Only 180 calories and 3g of fat per cup

Brown 1lb 99% lean ground turkey
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chili powder, to taste
2 bay leaves
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 or 2 (15 oz cans) of white northern or navy beans, rinsed and drained
15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
4.5 oz canned chopped green chile
2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
fat free sour cream for topping (optional)
chopped cilantro and chives for topping (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground chicken in a pan. Add beans, broth, pumpkin filing, green chiles, and seasonings except the cumin into your slow cooker. Saute the onion and garlic with the cumin and olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Add the ground chicken and sauteed onion and garlic to the slow cooker once its ready. Slow cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, remove bay leaves before serving.

I added chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder to the ground chicken while browning it because I like lots of flavor.

Tasty Taco Soup

1 pound ground beef or turkey cooked
1 large yellow onion chopped
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
1 28oz can diced or stewed tomatoes
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained
1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained
1 15 oz can red or kidney beans, drained
1 15 oz can navy beans, drained

Brown the meat with the onion until cooked through. Drain. Mix in taco and ranch dressing seasonings. Add the diced tomatoes, and all of the beans. Mix in enough additional water to cover everything. Simmer until heated through.

Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

This recipe is also great as a vegetarian soup. My family loves to eat to on nights when we need something fast to fix. Instead of spicy chili, which doesn’t always agree with my husband, I make this soup which still has a kick. People always comment on how wonderful it tastes. Hope you like it.
