Savory Squash Soup - No Food Processor Required

A quick and easy treat. This soup (which is spicy, but not hot like hot peppers) can be whipped up for a cold day's lunch or as an introduction to dinner. The warm flavors in the soup build as you continue to eat it. It came about because I am often too lazy to clean up a food processor when I am putting together lunch for just myself. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package  cooked  frozen squash
• 1 (14 1/2ounce) can  fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
• 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1⁄4 teaspoon curry powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  celery salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

1. Heat frozen squash and chicken broth in a saucepan until squash is defrosted.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer/low boil.
3. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow flavors to blend and soup to thicken slightly.
4. Enjoy!
5. Notes: Soup will thicken more as it cools. I have used baby food pears instead of applesauce and it's also good.
