Ingredients
Scale
- 1 butternut squash (approximately 4 cups), peeled and diced
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the butternut squash, chopping the apples and onion, and gathering your vegetable broth, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer to Perfection: In a large pot, combine all the ingredients: the diced butternut squash, chopped apples, and onions, along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cover the pot and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the squash and apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Season to Taste: Once the butternut squash and apples are soft, it’s time to add some seasoning. Stir in the ground cinnamon and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend Until Smooth: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture until it becomes velvety smooth. Be very careful when blending hot liquids because they can splatter.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add more vegetable broth until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the creamy Apple Butternut Squash Soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few apple slices if you feel like being fancy.
