Quick, easy and healthy, this soup will elevate your lunch to a new and nutritious level. Makes a great accompaniment to grilled cheese on a crisp autumn day.

Kabocha squash is in the butternut squash family. So if you can’t locate this in your grocery store, just look for butternut or Hubbard squash.

Ingredients:

Place all in saucepan, cook until soft, about 10-15 minutes, and reduced slightly.
