Fall is coming quickly and with it comes an intense desire on my part for deliciously warm soups. This easy butternut squash soup recipe is creamy and flavorful, with hints of sweetness from the apples.
I added in cinnamon and rosemary and even a pinch of cayenne pepper to give this soup recipe plenty of warmth! If you are looking for a quick and easy one-pot meal this fall, this one was a huge hit with my family.
Serve this delicious soup recipe with a batch of homemade buttermilk biscuits! We found that this soup was plenty filling for a main dish and used it as one of our meatless meals for the week. You could certainly serve this as an appetizer or side dish, however, if you choose.

If you have never cut up a butternut squash before, do not be intimidated. You don't have to buy the precut stuff, I promise! Just make sure you invest in a sharp knife and a sturdy cutting board. Slice it in half down the middle and scoop out the seeds. Then, chop each section in half again and peel off the outside skin.
Once you have it peeled and chopped, it is just a matter of sauteeing a few things, simmering for 30 minutes, and pureeing. I HIGHLY recommend you use an immersion blender for pureeing hot soups. It is much safer and easier than trying to put everything into a traditional blender while it is steaming hot.
