This satisfying stew is a riff on the classic Portuguese “Green Soup.” Instead of potatoes, it features the sweet creaminess of butternut squash – therefore the name “Orange and Green Soup.” Besides being great comfort food, this soup offers a nutritional double whammy — loads of beta-carotene from the squash, and highly absorbable calcium from [...]
