High-Fat Butternut Squash Soup (adapted from The Mexican Keto Cookbook)

Prep Time: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Serves: 6 - 8

These soup recipes can be made seasonal, in the summertime with tomatoes, and they all have very similar methods and can be made in less than 30 minutes. Sometimes I will add some sautéed ground meat and a handful of greens to the blended soup if I’m feeling hungry. Remember, starchy veggies (like winter root veggies) have higher carbs and sugar, so you will want to use less of them and mix them with more fat. On the other hand, tomatoes and zucchini are watery. Remember you can always add more broth, water, or cream, but it is best to start with less liquid and add more as you go and as you taste; you can’t take it away once it has been added.
