Butternut Squash Sweet Potato Soup Recipe
This Butternut Squash Sweet Potato Soup is irresistibly smooth and rich. On the other hand, it's healthy. I rarely add any cream in soup puree. Instead, I often incorporate some butter when sauteing vegetables. This time I didn't use any either; I only took a little bit of coconut oil. You can certainly use chicken broth, but this version is delicious without extra calories. The tasty topping adds a crunch and proteins. This time I utilized a package of frozen butternut squash, but certainly using fresh will be better (Try roasting it).

In a meanwhile, in a pan cook the sliced bacon and pumpkin seeds, 2-3 minutes or as desired. Serve the warm soup sprinkled with the bacon topping and blue cheese (feta). Sprinkle with fresh thyme and sage. Enjoy!
