Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

Butternut Squash and Carrots

Squash and Carrot Soup on Bread

This soup is seriously so good!

This soup is so sweet and totally nutritious! There is very little prep-time involved so it’s a perfect meal for a busy day, when you need to be able to walk away from the kitchen for a little while.

Adding toasted coconut really brings this soup up a notch. I highly suggest it!

By adding the heavy whipping cream to individual dishes it allows each person to decide how creamy (or fat free) they want their bowl to be.
