How to cook deliciously - Butternut Squash, Chicken, and Quinoa Soup

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Sprinkle chicken with salt and ground black pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.

3 . Stage

Place butternut squash pieces cut-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add about 1/2-inch water to the dish and cover with aluminum foil.

4 . Stage

Bake chicken and squash in the preheated oven until butternut squash is tender and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes.

Scoop cooked squash flesh into a large pot. Pour in chicken broth and mash together until smooth using an immersion blender or potato masher.

7 . Stage

Cube cooked chicken and add to the pot. Stir in onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, quinoa, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring soup to a gentle boil; reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is tender and flavors are well-blended, about 1 hour.
