Apple Butternut Squash soup

Submitted by Anna Pippin, MSHN

This creamy butternut squash and apple soup only has a few simple and healthy ingredients but is loaded with Fall flavor! High in vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as a good source of iron, calcium, and potassium, this comforting soup is the perfect seasonal dish on cool Autumn days!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 large butternut squash – peeled and diced into chunks
  • 4 or 5 medium apples –  cored and chopped (can peel if you want)
  • 4 cups broth
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

​1)  In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

​2) While the onions and garlic cook, cut and peel the squash and apples. Add them to the pot, then add 4 cups of the broth. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover, and cook until the squash and apples are very soft, about 30 minutes.

​3) Once the apples and squash in the soup pot are soft, puree the soup with an immersion blender.

​4) Stir in the salt and pepper, nutmeg, cumin, and cinnamon.

​5) Enjoy!
