SEMI-HOMEMADE WINTER SQUASH SOUP
As I have already admitted, quick and easy is my mantra. Undoubtedly, the easiest way to make soup is out of a can or box. However, I do like my foods to taste a certain way. I have been trying new foods since I started WW and now I'm experimenting with squash. I have made my Spaghetti Squash Casserole (see Sept. posts) several times and now I thought I would try a squash soup. Last year, I made a WW squash recipe and it really lacked taste. I experimented with adding several different ingredients and, fortunately, it turned out great. The one I made last year took some time to make and I wanted to come up with something that was quicker. As I do with all my new concoctions, my husband becomes my guinea pig. He, too, enjoyed it but told me it wasn't a soup anymore; it was a dessert! Below is my final product.Even with its rich and hearty flavor it is only 6 WW points+ for 3/4 cup.
Semi-Homemade Winter Squash Soup
Ingredients
1 box Winter Squash Soup (Pictured below)
1 brick of Fat Free Cream Cheese
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Pour soup into medium pot. Heat through completely. Blend in remaining ingredients. Continue heating until butter and cream cheese are melted, stirring frequently. (Just as I said, quick and easy!)
Note: It will take some time for the fat-free cream cheese to melt.
