Healthy Butternut Squash Soup Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep – Cook and blend the soup and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids). 
Frozen Soup – Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the soup will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room. 
Refrigerated Soup – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days.
Reheating – Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low, or defrosted soup for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat.

    You can make your own pumpkin pie spice. Here is the recipe:
    3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    2 teaspoons ground ginger
    2 teaspoons nutmeg
    1 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

    And if all of that is too much, then all you really need is the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.

  2. I’m so happy you loved the recipe! I’ll have to try it with chicken myself, sounds yummy!!

  3. I tried this recipe today and I am obsessed! I made it exactly as the recipe said, but I added some grilled chicken cubes in. I love this! AND, its healthy!
