Quick, Low-Cal Vegetarian Meals (Made With a Little Help)

Prepackaged foods you'll need:

— Fresh or frozen cubed butternut squash

— Box of veggie broth

— Can of cannelini beans

Save yourself the hassle of having to peel, deseed, and cube a butternut squash by buying it already prepared for you. Sauté the onion, add the stock, squash, and beans, and cook for 30 or so minutes until soft. Use one of those hand blenders to quickly pureé the soup. Season with salt and nutmeg, and this savory, protein- and fiber-packed bowl is sure to warm you up on a cold night — all for under 300 calories.
