Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 celery rib, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 carrot, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons butter
1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped, seeds discarded (see How to Peel and Cut a Butternut Squash)
1 tart green apple, peeled, cored, chopped (squash and apple ratio should be 3 -- 1)
3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth if vegetarian)
1 cup water
1 pinch nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large thick-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and let it foam up and recede. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Lower the heat if the vegetables begin to brown.

  • 3 Use an immersion blender to purée the soup, or work in batches and purée the soup in a standing blender.
  • 4 Add pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cayenne. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives.

I have a secret ingredient that I add to this soup that takes it to the next level. I stir in a tablespoon of maple syrup at the end. It adds a subtle sweetness that perfectly complements the butternut squash and apples.

This recipe was a complete disaster! I accidentally added too much salt and the soup was inedible. I had to start over from scratch. Lesson learned: always measure your ingredients carefully!

I followed the recipe to a T, but unfortunately the soup turned out bland and underwhelming. I think I might have used an old bottle of spices. Next time I'll make sure my ingredients are fresh and flavorful.

I'm a fan of one-pot meals that minimize cleanup. This soup was a dream come true. I threw all the ingredients into my Dutch oven and let it simmer away. It was so easy and the results were incredible.

I always end up with leftovers, so I appreciate recipes that can be easily repurposed. This soup is perfect for that. I turned the leftovers into a delicious butternut squash and apple risotto. It was a creative and tasty way to use up the leftovers.

I take pride in the presentation of my dishes, and this soup was no exception. I garnished it with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. It looked so inviting and my guests were impressed before they even tasted it.

I love spicy food, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to my soup. It gave it a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. It was the perfect balance of heat and comfort.

Finding gluten-free recipes that are both tasty and satisfying can be a challenge. This soup was a lifesaver! It's naturally gluten-free and packed with flavor. I served it with a side of crusty gluten-free bread and it was a match made in heaven.

As a vegan, I'm always looking for delicious and satisfying plant-based recipes. This soup exceeded my expectations! The creamy texture and rich flavor made it a hit with my non-vegan friends as well.

I love experimenting with different flavor combinations, and this soup was the perfect opportunity. The sweetness of the butternut squash and apples balanced perfectly with the tanginess of the spices. I also added a bit of chopped bacon for an extra

I've tried many butternut squash soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of green apples gives it a unique and refreshing twist. I served it with a crusty bread and it was a hit with my family.
