We saw a cooking show where they made a Butternut squash soup, this is my healthy version, sorry the measurements are not exact, but it also depends on the size of your squash.
4 Butternut Squash, peeled and cubed
2-4 cups chicken broth(maybe more)
1 onion
4-6 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon basil
Spray large pot with cooking spray. Saute garlic and onion. Add Butternut Squash cubes and saute 6 more minutes. Add parsley and basil. Add chicken broth, enough just to cover cubes. Simmer 40 minutes. Blend with hand blender until smooth.

Easy Chili Beans
I differ every time I make Chili Beans in my attempt to make them just like Grandpa's, but they are never just like his. This is one really easy version anyone can make.
2 pounds ground beef
2 onions
1 Tablespoon Garlic salt
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
2 cans Rotel tomatoes and green chiles
2 cans green chile
2 cans tomato sauce
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans pinto beans
Brown Ground beef and onions together, add seasonings. Add rest of ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes.

Vegetable stew
4-6 cups beef broth
1/2 pound carrots
4 med zucchini
1/2 head cabbage
1 can Ro-tel(diced tomatoes and green chiles)
1 package frozen winter squash
Start with 4 cups beef broth in a very large pot, over high heat. Wash and slice carrots into 1/2" slices, put in pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high. Let carrots cook about 20 minutes while you wash and slice zucchini into 1/4" slices, put in pot. Wash and coarsely chop cabbage, put in pot. Add parsley and garlic salt. If you feel you need more liquid at this time, you can add 2 more cups of broth to give more of a soup texture, we prefer more of a chunky stew texture. When carrots and zucchini are cooked through(about 1/2 hour) add Rotel and winter squash. Bring back just to a boil until winter squash is heated through, then serve.
The winter squash is 1 point for a cup and the carrots are 1 point per cup when they are cooked, however, you don't get a full cup of either in a cup of soup. I estimate this soup to be 1 point per cup, I believe this to be a generous estimate because all of the other ingredients are 0 points.
