Nothing is better than a warm yummy soup in winter time. I love this Butternut squash soup recipe in my app AHealthierU as my go to for a quick lunch. It’s all about making healthy choices even easier with quick recipes you can meal prep with and use all week long.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds.

3. Place the cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife or fork can be easily inserted.
