Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with a Protein Boost
Squash soup is one of my favourite recipes. It is high in protein due to the beef bone broth and is perfect for a cozy fall day.
Squash is rich in vitamins such as A, which supports eye health, and vitamin C, boosting immunity.
It’s an excellent source of fibre, which will make you feel full longer and help regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Squash is also rich in calcium and magnesium, which are vital for sustaining strong bones and helping prevent osteoporosis.
