How To Make butternut squash & apple soup

  • Step 1
    In a large saucepan melt butter, add all chopped vegetable. Saute approximately 5 mins until tender but not brown. Add curry powder, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend until combined.
  • Step 2
    Add broth and water or juice. Bring to boil. Cover, simmer 30 minutes until vegetables are soft. Puree. Serve garnished with grated cinnamon, parsley and a dollop of sour cream if you wish.
  • Step 3
    Variations: Sometimes I add applesauce and cream for a different texture when I puree the veggies. I only garnish with cinnamon, parsley or sour cream. The other spices go into the soup mixture. Fresh nutmeg is very strong but gives the soup a great flavor, use it to your liking. Enjoy!
