Butternut Squash Apple & Sage Soup
I LOVE the many tastes of harvest time – but one of my all-time favourite things to eat during Fall is butternut squash. With its smooth texture and sweet, nutty taste, butternut squash is a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, bakes, and even desserts!
I whipped up this tasty recipe after stocking up for winter on apples from our local farm, and beautiful butternut squash from another great local spot. This soup is both savory & sweet, creamy, and rich in fiber, vitamin A & C. I hope you enjoy the blending of the tastes of harvest time as much as my family did!
