Recipe: Butternut squash soup with apples

/ 5

This soup is an absolutely wonderful one, prefect for a fall/winter weather and it’s been cooked on a regular rotation here. The butternut squash and apple combination is brilliant and the ingredients are those one can find in their kitchen pantry rather easily. I have been adjusting the recipe according to what I may or may not have in my pantry, so I have even used butternut squash from a can (yes!) or ground ginger instead of a fresh one and it has turned out equally perfect.

I also like to add a dollop of greek yogurt on top of the served soup, along with some freshly ground pepper. Try it out if you feel fancy, it certainly adds a nice spin to it 🙂

Enjoy!
