The Best Butternut Squash and Apple Soup You’ll Ever Have!

Autumn brings apple and squash aplenty and this is the time of year when you’ll see great sales on these items!

That means that Autumn Butternut Squash Apple Soup, with its hint of spice, is an ideal fall recipe to enjoy as the evenings turn chilly!

My family is not usually very enthusiastic about winter squash, but they loved this soup and asked for more. The real test of kid-pleaser status came when I made this Butternut Squash Apple Soup for our two year old niece and her parents. At first she didn’t want to try it (it’s orange!) but once she got some in her mouth she kept asking for more. I ended up sending all the leftovers home with her mom and dad!

You might think the apples would make this a sweet soup but they don’t. And the hint of ginger really makes the flavor pop, so don’t leave that out!

Special bonus: not only is this soup yummy, it is also good for you – butternut squash is chock full of good nutrients, especially vitamin C, vitamin A and beta-carotene.
