Chickpea, Kale & Butternut Squash Curry Soup

This is an easy and delicious one pot meal. The number of servings seems rather weird, but that is how many 2 cup servings we got. I see that the sodium value is pretty high. There is no way to note it when entering nutrition information, but you rinse the chickpeas which lowers the sodium considerably. Of course you can also reduce the amount of salt you add to lower it even further! If you have left over butternut squash that is already cooked it cuts down the recipe time to less than 30 minutes, just skip the first step and proceed with recipe. Enjoy!Submitted by: LILYGIRL83

Zucchini Garlic Soup

from www.thekitchn.com:
This soup is so creamy and silky - it tastes like it's full of cream. But it doesn't have a drop of dairy.

i modified the original recipe slightly by substituting olive oil instead of butter & fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger.Submitted by: CITYGIRL666
