How To Make The Best Creamy Squash Soup Ever

With the fall weather, are soups calling to you too? Here’s my super easy fall soup – clean, healing, warm, and delicious!

ONIONS

Did you know onions have anti-cancer properties? Ancient knowledge and modern research alike show that consuming onions reduces the risk of cancer, stops the growth of cancer cells and tumors, and kills breast and colon cancer cells. High in Vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, biotin, and chromium, onions also contain important sulfur compounds that significantly strengthen the immune system, brain, and nervous system. Onions can assist the digestive tract by killing bad bacteria due to its antibacterial properties. Onions are also one of the foods highest in quercetin, a type of antioxidant that has been shown to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglycerides as well as help to prevent blood clots, asthma, sinus infections, bronchitis, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.

GARLIC

Besides adding flavor, this incredible herb has powerful anti-cancer properties. See more about garlic – plus home remedies to make use of this potent healing food – over at this post.

Butternut squash has carotenoids that are strongly protective against heart disease, breast cancer, and macular degeneration.
