This Cream of Chayote Soup (Crema de Chayote) recipe is from the cookbook ¡Buen Provecho! Chayote, also known as chayote squash or pear-shaped squash, is a bright green, mild-flavored gourd popular in Mexico. It's cooked similarly to zucchini and results in a kid-friendly soup due to its mild flavor and smooth texture. Chayote is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants, aiding in weight management, digestive health, heart health, bone strength, blood sugar control, skin health, and hydration.
