Ingredients

    4 serving CHEFS CUPBOARD BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP (Aldi)
    1 Sweet potato
    1 cup Spaghetti Squash (if you have it or any other leftover squash)
    .5 cup Milk, 2%
    .5 small Onions, raw
    2 tsp Garlic
    1 tsp Olive Oil
    .125 tsp Nutmeg, ground (1/8)
    .125 tsp Cinnamon, ground (1/8)
    .25 tsp Pepper, white (1/4)
    .125 tsp Paprika (1/8)
    .1 tsp Cayenne pepper (good sprinkle)

Tips

I'm going to be looking for another boxed soup that doesn't add sugar and isn't so high in sodium. Would be good as a side for almost any sandwich or a nice accompaniment to a salad. Add sour cream, avocado, sprouts or any topping that appeals to you. Although I prefer from-scratch butternut squash soup, this is a good shortcut. If you prefer no heat, take off the cayenne and reduce the white pepper.


Directions

MIcrowave sweet potato. Saute onion in olive oil on medium low until lightly brown. Add garlic (I used jarred pre-diced) and cook on low for a few minutes. Add box of soup. Scrape insides of sweet potato and add. Add all other ingredients other than milk and heat to a simmer. Remove from heat and use immersion blender until smooth. Stir in milk.
