This Clean Eating Butternut Curry Soup recipe is a gift, an amazing gift, from my friend and triathlon training partner, Stacey. She has graciously allowed me to share this easy and healthy soup with you, and I couldn’t be more grateful, because OMG. This soup, y’all. (And yes I’ve been watching a little too much Friday Night Lights on Prime Video. I’m actually from Minnesota and I actually don’t say y’all. Don’t judge.)
