Butternut Squash Soup with Sage, Apples & Cream

I love a good soup! And during the holiday season, I especially love making soups that scream fall and winter. And my Creamy Butternut Squash Soup does just that!

I kind of think a lot of people are afraid of butternut squash, but it is such a versatile vegetable and it can be used in a myriad of ways. It has a creamy, velvety texture and it’s nice and earthy.

So I believe that keeping it as simple as possible is best, allowing the squash to really shine through. Simply paired with fresh sage and sweet apples, it’s a match made in Heaven. It’s unbelievably easy, but the flavors are complex.

Also, it’s simple enough for a family dinner, or elegant enough for a Friendsgiving or Christmas!
