This velvety butternut squash and apple soup is super easy, crazy delicious very healthy. It’s savory, sweet and absolutely divine. Adding apple and apple juice makes this a delightful dinner entree.
Fall is in the air and this butternut squash and apple soup couldn’t be more perfect for crisp weather.
This soup is amazing due to the fact that there isn’t any heavy cream involved. The liquid is chicken broth and apple juice. And with plenty of savory butternut squash, we really enjoyed this incredibly colorful bowl of soup.
It’s an easy soup to make, even for a weeknight meal. That “it’s Tuesday and I’m tired” type of recipe, and it’s elegant enough for entertaining or even for a special dinner.
The only special equipment needed for this recipe is an immersion blender. Using this handy tool makes pureeing this soup a breeze. If you don’t have one, you can use a blender. Just put the hot soup in a blender in batches, only filling the blender half full each time. Puree in batches.
Be careful with the lid, hold it loosely in place, as if you seal it, the heat might blow it off.
All you need for a side dish is a sliced baguette, or a simple tossed salad.
