Butternut Squash Soup

Every fall season this Butternut Squash Soup is a big hit in our dining room at the Pritikin Longevity Center. It has loads of rich velvety flavor but no added fat like butter or oil - typical ingredients in other butternut squash soups. That means our Pritikin version checks in at about one-third the calories.
