Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

Recipes

I’ve been wanting to make butternut squash soup for a while and found a few recipes online.  I ended up combining some recipes and winging it and I think it turned out pretty darn good.  I wanted butternut squash soup with apple because the apple really adds some sweetness and flavor.  It’s just a fruit and veggie pair that I think works deliciously. And of course, I wanted to make it in my Crock Pot so it could simmer all day while I was at work.

Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

It was super easy – just chop the butternut squash and apple into cubes and toss them into the Crock Pot.  Add chopped garlic and onion.

Add vegetable broth and 1 can of water.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours (or however long you are at work).

So when you get home from work, play, errands, or whatever, sweet cozy delicious soup is simmering and waiting. All you have to do is puree in a blender and add some salt, pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon to taste.

I ended up pairing the soup with another new recipe – Turkey, Apple, and Brie sandwiches.  Recipe to come very soon!

Add vegetable broth.  Fill can with water and add to pot.

Puree soup in a blender (or with an immersion blender) until smooth.
