Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Butternut Squash and Broth

   Add the diced butternut squash to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

3. 3

   Season the Soup

   Stir in the salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and diced Granny Smith apple. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with candied pecans before serving.
