Ingredients

    2 tsp olive oil
    1 cup chopped onions
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1 tbsp grated ginger root
    11/2 tsp ground cumin
    6 cups peeled, cubed butter nut squash
    2 cups low fat, low sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups unsweetened carrot juice( organic)
    1/4 cup frozen pineapple juice concentrate
    1 tsp grated orange zest
    1/2 tsp salt ( this can be reduced to 1/2 tsp)
    1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
    Light sour cream ( option not in calorie count)

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large, non-stick soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook and stir until onions begin to soften, about 3 min.

Stir in ginger root and cumin, and cook for 30 more seconds. Add squash and remaining ingredients, except sour cream. Mix well. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, or until squash is tender.

Working in batches, transfer soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return pureed soup to pot. Serve hot soup with a dollop of light low fat sour cream in the center and chopped parsley.
