Apple Butternut Squash Soup
Apple Butternut Squash Soup made with fresh tangy apples and sweet squash. Simple ingredients for a delicious healthy soup!
You know you have a tasty soup when your guests go back for a second bowl! This Apple Butternut Squash Soup was taste tested and approved by some friends at my cookie exchange! I knew that after sampling all of our delicious sweets we baked up for the holidays we would crave some real food, so I made soup to cleanse our palates! Our tummies were rejuvenated with veggies and fruit, tapering our sugar rush.
If you have overdosed with sweet treats, I highly recommend you make this soup! It’s refreshing, light, and tasty! It’s the perfect soup to make when you are ready to reset your diet to whole natural foods.
The recipe is simple. Straightforward ingredients to gather, and easy to make. Peeling and dicing the apples probably is the most time consuming task when preparing to make this recipe, so if you have one of those food choppers (mine is from Pampered Chef), use it! That little gadget is handy! Don’t forget to pull it out of the cabinet and chop away!
I’m always a little curious to get the hearty eaters opinion when I make vegetarian dishes, so I made this recipe again at a gathering at my in-laws house, and got the thumbs up from the guys; my father-in-law, hubby, and 19 year old son! I think they were ready to ditch the sweets too! A grilled cheese sandwiches or a side salad would also compliment this soup.

This is a perfect recipe for fall. Ginger makes it a little spicy. I think I might also experiment with Thai Chillies.
