I've been in a soup mood lately since it's been getting a little colder here. Well, cold for Texas, which just means it's not hot anymore. I found this really yummy soup recipe in our Costco magazine. I never realized how easy it was to make butternut squash soup. Why did I wait so long to try it?
Here's the recipe:
2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks (about 6 cups)
1 pound apples, peeled and cut into chunks (about 3.5 cups)
1 C. apple juice
1 C. chicken broth
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. chipotle chili powder
1 T. butter
Pecans and apple slices for topping
Directions:
1. Add squash, apples, apple juice, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to a large saucepan. Bring to boil. Cover and cook on low heat until the apples and squash are very soft, about 30 minutes. Cool.
2. Puree squash and apples in blender or food processor. Return to saucepan and bring to simmer, adding more apple juice or broth if needed.
3. Garnish with pecans and apple slices.

This soup hit the spot post chilly run last Monday night!
What's your favorite kind of soup?
I think my new favorite soup is the parmesan tomato basil soup we had for dinner last night. The recipe for that will definitely be coming for next Wednesday's Eat of the Week.
LOVE this soup! I make mine with pear. I could eat it for days! I like it with or without whipping cream and want to explore a more savory taste...maybe curry.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite soup is probably either lentil soup or pea soup! Yum! This looks delicious though! I will have to try your recipe :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. Im gonna try it out. Beef soup is my favorite. Im making it for dinner.
