Strengthen your body’s defenses this cold and flu season by adding our Curried Butternut Squash Soup recipe to your lunch or dinner rotation. Here’s how the ingredients in this soup help boost your immune system.
- Butternut Squash: This winter squash is loaded with antioxidant-rich beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E — all associated with supporting your immune system. The beta-carotene, along with vitamin E, are also great for skin health and eye health, and lower the risk of chronic disease.
- Thai Red Curry Paste: This savory paste is made using lots of red chili peppers, which are teeming with a compound called capsaicin, the substance responsible for the spicy sensation you get when you enjoy hot peppers. Capsaicin, plus the additional antioxidants found in hot peppers, are linked to improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and a strong immune system.
- Ginger: This aromatic is fragrant, flavorful, and has a kick of spice. It has been long used in Eastern medicine. Ginger contains an anti-inflammatory compound called gingerol that is associated with numerous health benefits including its ability to help relieve stomach nausea.

- 2 cups boiling water or more if needed
