Simple Butternut Squash Soup Recipe with Apple

This is one of my all-time favorite soups! There is something so creamy and delicious about smooth butternut squash combined with sweet apples and coconut.  The fact that it’s healthy and so, so easy makes it even better!! You can always find this delish soup in my freezer for last minute weekday lunches.

Ingredients

- 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2” pieces

- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add squash, apples, 2 cups stock, milk, coconut milk and nutmeg. Cover, bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until squash is soft.
