Butternut Squash and Green Apple Soup

For those of you who enjoy the tastes and aroma of fall spices, this Butternut Squash and Green Apple Soup really fits the bill. I particularly liked the distinctive, slightly sweet taste from the natural sweetness of the apples. The recipe is so simple for a healthy, hearty soup to enjoy in cold weather. The most difficult part is peeling and seeding the butternut squash. Once that’s done, you are 15 minutes to a delightful first course.
