Eat Soup To Boost Heart Health!
If you caught this morning's "Today" show cooking segment, then you know it
was all about soup. Butternut squash soup to be exact, and if you're one
who avoids the Fall staple, you're really missing out.
On what, you ask?
A stronger heart. That's right, hard-shelled foods like butternut and acorn squash and
spaghetti squash (and even yellow and zucchini) can lower your heart disease risk
by a whopping 60%. All of these veggies are rich in nutrients that break down
inflammatory wastes in blood vessels before they van damage artery walls.

Recipe for Chilled Apple Butternut Squash Soup!
Ingredients:
1 Tbs. butter
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 onions, chopped and diced
1 tsp. chipolte chile powder or cayenne powder
2 lbs. butternut squash, peeled, cut into chunks
1 lb. apples, cored and cut into chunks
1 cup apple juice
1 cup chicken broth, plus another few Tbs.
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Sour cream, 1 container, (optional)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions:
In a large pot, heat butter and oil over medium to low heat. Add the onions
and chile powder, cook, stirring until onions are tender about 10 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover-cook over low heat, stirring
occasionally, until apples and squash are very soft, about 20 to 30 mins.
Cool--puree the apples and squash until smooth. Return to pot; thin the soup
out chicken broth (1 or 2 cups) until you get the texture you want.
You can eat it warm, or allow to cool for a few hrs. and eat it this way.
And if you like--place a Tbs. of sour cream on top and stir it in.
That's it, this should be enough for 6 to 8 servings.
And lastly, stock up on apples this Fall season, why?
They also keep the heart in tip-top shape by helping to lower cholesterol
levels. Say goodbye to statins and hello to apples.
Good Luck!
