Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

Posted Jan 11, 2021 in Food + Nutrition, The Recipe Box by Social United

This savory soup delivers a velvety texture, vitamin packed butternut squash, while sneaking in a bit of protein with Vital Proteins collagen peptides. We love their unflavored collagen since it’s easy to add to just about any dish if you need a protein boost.
