    Butternut squash soup with apple

    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.

    Using an immersion blender to puree butternut squash soup

    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.

      Oh my goodness. While the soup looks fantastic, I have to admit that I swooned over those Brussels sprouts! I think I’d make them the entire meal instead of just a side dish. Yum!

      Looks very good and velvety! I had tried a leek soup without cream recently and it also worked out well. Who knew cream so be so easily omitted! Makes it healthier!

      Apples and butternut squash are fabulous together. I have a very hard time finding hazelnuts too. Fresh Market sometimes has them…

      So happy that you found SO many recipes you liked! I almost forgot about that soup – I now need to make it soon. Sorry you could not find hazelnuts. Not sure if you have a Trader Joe’s near by, but they have a great nut selection. Thank you for featuring Marty and Stewart – we just love them so much!!!
