Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
A cozy, velvety soup that brings together the sweetness of fall apples and the earthy flavor of roasted squash.
enzo81.xyzSeptember is that beautiful time of year when we still have the warmth of summer but start craving those deeper, cozy flavors. This soup is one of my favorites because it uses fresh harvest apples and squash to make something really comforting for a chilly evening.
Make sure to roast the vegetables until they are just starting to brown at the edges. This little bit of caramelization adds a lot of natural sweetness to the pot without needing extra sugar.
