Roasting the vegetables in the oven before blending them intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet and nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn, honeynut or kabocha squash, can be used in its place.

The base of this green tortellini soup is prepared in advance and stored in separate containers for an easy grab-and-go lunch. Layer the spinach on top of the pesto to create a barrier that will keep the tortellini from getting soggy. When you’re ready to enjoy it, simply add the broth and heat it in the microwave. This recipe is low in saturated fat, a type of fat folks with certain health conditions, like diabetes, need to be aware of, and has a healthy amount of carbs to support stable blood sugar levels, which translates to stable energy levels.
