Everyone seem to be pumpkin crazed this time of year but I’m alllll about that butternut squash! Butternut squash is a starchy vegetable and super rich source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C — two important immune boosting vitamins that we could all use a little more of this time of year! It’s also a great source of antioxidants (check out that beautiful orange color!), fiber and other important vitamins and minerals.


Butternut Squash Apple Soup

Serves 5-6


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs roughly chopped butternut squash (save time and buy two 16 ounce bags of pre-chopped squash!)

  • 1 white onion, roughly diced

  • 3 small apple, roughly diced

  • 32 ounces low sodium chicken broth (you can also sub vegetable broth)

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tbsp ghee (butter, olive oil and avocado oil work too) over medium heat in a large pot.

  2. Add onion and saute until they become really soft — about 6-8 minutes

  3. Add butternut squash, apple, and chicken broth and bring to a bowl.

  4. Simmer for about 20 minutes until you can easily pierce the squash with a fork

  5. Puree using an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a blender in batches to puree.

  6. Add nutmeg and season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to your liking (the nutmeg TOTALLY makes this)
