Super Skin Friendly Recipe: Delicious Butternut Squash Soup

I often say that you are what you eat and that what you put in, becomes your skin.

Here’s a delicious recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. Butternut is super skin friendly. It packs a whopping amount of Vitamin A which is great news for slowing down the aging process and for healing acne. It’s also high in Vitamin E, another vitamin critical for clear skin and anti aging. Vitamin C is in butternut squash as well. This vitamin reduces inflammation and speeds healing. It’s also an intrinsic part of collagen production. What a tasty and tummy – warming way to eat your vitamins!

Cherise’s Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

• Saute ¼ cup chopped onions in a little bit of butter until tender.
• Add 3 cups of peeled and chopped butternut squash and 1 chopped medium potato.  I leave the skin on for little flecks of color later and for more nutrition.
• Add 1.5 cups of water and 2 packets of OXO chicken bouillon.  You can use vegetable bouillon instead, if you like.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce and simmer under the squash is tender, around 20 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to smooth.  Stir in ¼ cup of milk or evaporated milk.  The dairy is optional; it makes the soup more creamy.
• Salt to taste; I use sea salt.

That’s it! This recipe is fast, easy and delicious, especially when it’s cold and dark outside. Feel good about the wallop of skin soothing antioxidants that help skin stay young, firm, healthy and clear.
