Butternut Chicken Soup

December 26, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Good morning!

I am actually writing this in the morning, so forgive me, I had a late evening, 4.5 hours of sleep and only one cup of coffee, my brain  and eyes are not working yet!

How was your Christmas?  Mine was great!  I am probably one of the only woman out there that was happy that she a hot pink hand mixer and a crockpot that does it all!  I also got a new camera.  I haven’t had a chance to play around with it, but I am hoping that I will be able to take better pictures.  My Husband even got me a little tripod to go with it!  So cute!  It’s a Cannon Power Shot!  With a new camera, you would of thought I would of gotten a bunch of pictures, but I didn’t!  But here are a few from my morning that I did get.  Nothing fancy going on here!

So today, I am officially hanging up my sugar apron and pulling out my salad maker!  The holidays are over, no reason to start fresh in January, why not do it now?  After my weight gain, I decided, no really, I decided to start being healthy now!  Today, I am going to clean my kitchen cupboards, pack away the sugar drawer, throw out BAD food, prep my vegetables for the week and be excited for new healthy creations.  No more cookie baking for me, unless it’s really healthy!  I still need a treat, so today I will probably make no bake cookie dough balls, made of oats, dates, peanut butter and other healthy goodies.   If they come out good I’ll post the recipes!


I am really, really excited for this! I am lucky that I love fruits and vegetables, so this shouldn’t be hard, I did this once before and stuck to it for over two years.  I also gave up soda three years ago and I if I can do that and stuck with it, I can do anything!   I went months without cookies, I can go without sugar.  The only sugar I want is from natural food!  You with me?   I have no excuses at all!!  Yah, Pumping my self up here!!!  This will be a piece of cake easy!

So today, I will share with you a soup that I made a few weeks ago.  The pictures aren’t great, but my battery was going dead on my camera so I took my pictures really fast!

This is a Butternut Chicken Soup.  I whipped this together pretty fast and the flavors were unbelievable.   I used my hand mixer to puree the chicken and squash, I was surprised on how the hand mixer shredded my chicken, it was perfect!  May not be the prettiest looking soup, but it’s thick and hearty and healthy too!  I used Greek Yogurt for my little design in the soup.

Target sells Butternut Squash in the frozen section, and it makes for a great soup.  It doesn’t take that long to roast because you don’t get the firmness that you would normally get from using fresh butternut squash.  If your looking for quick butternut puree, buy the frozen Archer Farms Squash, all natural, nothing added just a bag of squash!

Butternut Chicken Soup

Ingredients:

3 Cups Butternut Squash

1/3 Cup Onion- Diced

1 tsp Olive Oil – divided

1/4 tsp Black Pepper

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper

8oz Chicken Breast- Cut up into bite size pieces

Dash Salt

Dash Pepper

4 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth

1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

Directions:

Preheat oven 400

On baking pan add the Butternut Squash, Onion, 1/2 tsp. Olive Oil, Black Pepper, Salt, Cinnamon & Cayenne Pepper. Mix it all together (I used my hands so the squash and onions are covered) Bake for 30 minutes, flipping half way through. Once squash is fork tender add to a large pot.

In a skillet add chicken, 1/2 tsp. olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Add chicken to pot with squash, add chicken broth and nutmeg. Turn heat to medium and cook until it reaches a boil. Turn off heat, taste, add additional salt & pepper if needed.

Using an hand blender, process until creamy or you can carefully add the mixture in batches to a blender and process until smooth, just be-careful because it is hot!  Personally I wouldn’t do that because I am to clumsy.  You can even use a potato masher to mash it up, the chicken will just be chunkier, but the squash will be smooth.

Serving Size: 6 – 1 cup servings

Calories per serving:  101,  Fat: 1.5,  Cholesterol:  21,  Sodium:  76,  Potassium:  304,  Carbs:  12,  Fiber:  3.2,   Sugar:  0,  Protein:  11

I made this soup for just me, and it made for great lunches throughout the week!

Let me apologize to you for my sloppy blog today.  I have been writing this for to long and I am still not functioning.  I just can’t think!  I really need to eat breakfast and get some more coffee, so thanks for listening to my gibberish!  But before I go, I wanted to tell you today is going to be a good day for you and me!  Think positive!  Be excited! Remember you can do anything you set your mind to!

    Oh, I am SO on the bandwagon! I had a great time indulging, but I’m over it and ready for healthy foods! I was even snacking on carrots and radishes this evening and they were delish! Speaking of delish…how awesome is your soup? Congratulations on your presents – I would be excited, too! I can’t wait to see what you make and the pictures you take!

      Hi Ann! The soup is awesome!! I can’t believe I am the only one in my house that will eat butternut squash. Crazy! Radishes, I haven’t had them in so long. When I was a kid I liked them so much I ate a whole bag of them, then broke out in hives everywhere. My Mom took me to the emergency room because she thought I had chicken pox or the measles and then the doctor asked me if I ate anything and I told him “a whole bag of radishes”, my Mom was shocked and he said your allergic. lol I still eat them now and again and I have been fine, I just won’t eat a whole bag! 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
