Roasted Butternut Squash Soup recipe

This fat-free, cholesterol-free, low calorie soup provides major health benefits from the ginger and sweet potato, a superfood.

The mere sight of this cute-looking yummilicious noodle, served on a plate, will make you salivate, and if you eat it, it will make you reinvigorated too. This Italian dish is a brilliant blend of arrabbiata sauce and squash in the form of noodles. The carefully spiralized noodle and diced tomatoes make this dish very appealing to the eyes.

They also have a minimal amount of fat, are rich in protein and are relatively low in calories and carbs. It is a great source of energy for the body—and a great delight to the mouth! That’s also very important. Now, let us see how we can prepare this tempting dish. Shall we!

This delicious leek and potato soup is such a tasty and nutritious winter soup recipe. We love making soup in the slow cooker as it so easy to do and there’s nothing better than having your dinner ready and waiting for you when you get home from work. To give this recipe a delicious crunch, we’ve also topped it with hazelnuts (which make a fantastic healthy alternative to croutons, and they taste great too).
