Many people are familiar with the common Butternut Squash but often wonder how best to use Acorn Squash. While Acorn Squash is excellent for stuffing, it can be used as an ingredient in soup too.

Beets (in general) and this soup has my house divided between “love them or hate them”, (no casual dislike here). I am team “love them” all the way and eat them all the time! This recipe is slightly sweet and if you love beets, you will think it’s amazing too!

Meal Planning Tip: This recipe easily doubles and can last in the freezer for months.

Between these three recipes, there are 7 common ingredients, which is a win when it comes to meal planning.
