Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (No Tomato)
Naturally sweet, silky, and non-acidic (no tomato or citrus to sting a sore mouth). Mild aroma keeps nausea at bay, and it's smooth enough to sip from a mug.
Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea, low appetite.
Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled & cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cups low-sodium broth
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
How to make it
- Soften onion in oil in a pot, ~5 min.
- Add squash and broth; simmer until tender, ~20 min.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Stir in milk; warm gently. Serve warm, not hot.
- Tip: Blend very smooth for a sore mouth. Mild smell makes it one of the more nausea-friendly cooked meals.
