Orange you glad we created this recipe? You should be, since the color, from both the carrots and butternut squash, means its filled with powerful antioxidants called carotenoids.

The simple two-step soup (all you have to is saute and blend) is perfect for cold and flu season, since it also contains immunity-boosting chicken broth and ginger.

It’s also just really. really. delicious.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Ginger is great for fending off the sniffles. Carrots and squash are rich in carotenoids, compounds that are linked to a laundry list of health benefits. And coconut oil, well, is there anything it can’t do?
