Creamy soup
Options
So this is not a recipe, but a hint.
I like to make creamy chicken veggie soup. I usually add large amounts of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup to the pot. HORRIBLE on the sodium, right, not to mention the calories!!!
Last night, I took squash and zuchinni, pureed them in a blender, poured in my soup. Wala - - creamy texture, a fraction of the calories, and none of the sodium!!!!
AND the best part, you couldn't even taste the added veggies!!
Go me!!

What kind of squash?0

Another good trick to get a creamy consistency is add in some blended Silken Tofu (not the grainy kind, the kind with the custard like consistency). Boosts the protein for added benefit.0

What kind of squash?
I used yellow (crook neck) squash. I bet it would work equally as well with butternut.0
