Paleo Butternut Squash Soup
Overall, a pretty good day… Still finishing off some of the not-quite-paleo stuff like the jerky and chicken. I have to say the Russian Salad Dressing is better than the Spinach one from the other day, but still missing something. The highlight of the day was definitely the butternut squash soup! With all the rain we’ve been getting, the salads at lunch just haven’t really been hitting the spot. So I bought some squash yesterday and looked up a recipe for paleo friendly soup:
- butternut squash
- coconut milk
That’s it! I seasoned the squash with garlic powder, allspice, cumin, and little cayenne. Then roasted in the oven for about 1/2 hour. This was tasty on it own, will definitely just have it by itself one day. Pureed it with the coconut milk and a bit of water… yummy! And did it hit the spot.
I really need to start looking into cooking some paleo meals instead of just chicken and some salad or veggies. I like strong flavors and that’s what I’ve been missing from my meals (except for the soup).
You know… after looking at the list above…. I eat a lot through out the day compared to other folks on the challenge.
