Healthy Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

Healthy Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

It’s soup season and I have to say my family and I love soup! Especially on cold snow days. I made this butternut squash and apple soup last year and it was a huge hit. I decided to make it again. This time we not only used butternut squash from our garden but we also had delicious apples from our apple trees on the property!

I am so in love with the opportunity to have some land so we can have our garden, orchard and I can’t forget my wonderful chickens and ducks.

It’s difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating homegrown vegetables!

Our goal as a family is to become more and more self-reliant and providing our family healthy and clean food.

Butternut Squash is high in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and antioxidants to name a few.

This soup is absolutely delicious and perfect for leftovers! I packed this soup up the next day for my husband to take to work for lunch. This soup tastes even better the next day the spices sink in even more to bring out even more flavor!
