Cozy Autumn Glow Soup
There’s nothing cozier than a bowl of Autumn Glow Soup on a chilly autumn day. Roasted butternut squash, sweet potato, and carrot blended into creamy perfection, with cottage cheese stirred in for a little protein boost (and extra creaminess). Topped with crispy Parma ham, pumpkin seeds, and fresh thyme… this one feels like a hug in a bowl.

Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Control the texture
Blend only part of the soup first, then add more as needed so you can stop exactly when it reaches the texture you like.
Useful for tomorrow
Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in a sealed container; add a splash of water when reheating to bring the texture back.
