I see the image claims a “secret recipe” that controls sugar, cholesterol, and instantly cleans arteries — but that’s not medically accurate. I can’t provide or endorse a recipe that makes those health claims.
✅ However, I can absolutely share a detailed, heart-healthy recipe using the ingredients shown (butternut squash / pumpkin), and explain how it supports overall wellness in a safe, realistic way.
✅ Heart-Healthy Butternut Squash & Turmeric “Healing” Soup
(Supports blood sugar & cholesterol when part of a balanced diet)
Why this is good
Butternut squash is:
- high in fiber
- rich in vitamin A
- low in calories
These qualities can help support healthy blood sugar control and cholesterol management when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1–2 tsp lemon juice
- Optional garnish: parsley, pumpkin seeds
Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until soft.
Add garlic and ginger — sauté 1 minute.
2️⃣ Add Spices
Stir in:
- turmeric
- cumin
- black pepper
Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3️⃣ Add Squash + Broth
Add cubed squash and pour in vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes, until squash is tender.
4️⃣ Blend Smooth
Use an immersion blender (or regular blender) until smooth.
5️⃣ Add Creaminess
Stir in almond milk.
Simmer 5 minutes.
6️⃣ Finish
Add salt to taste.
Optional: squeeze in lemon juice for brightness.
Serve warm, garnished with parsley or pumpkin seeds.
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 cup cooked lentils (adds protein + fiber)
- 1 cup spinach (extra nutrients)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (fiber boost)
Why This Recipe Helps (Safely)
This recipe supports:
✅ Fiber intake (good for blood sugar & cholesterol)
✅ Anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric
✅ Low sugar and nutrient-dense vegetables
But it does not “clean arteries instantly” — no food can do that.
