Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

For tonights menu: Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

I know what you might be thinking...Butternut squash and apple soup? What a strange combination. Well I like butternut squash soup and I like apples so why not put them together? I found this soup off of one of my blog called "Authentic Suburban Gourmet". Zac and I were trying to decide what to eat for tonight and he suggested soup so off I went searching for a new soup to try.

Alright people lets give this a whirl and see how it turns out!

 So this is the picture from the website. We'll see if mine looks close to that.

 Starting our night off with some crackers and creamy coconut Gouda cheese. Strange mixture of cheese with the coconut but its actually really good!

Time for the ingredients:
- 2 T. butter
- 1 large onion
- 36 oz. Butternut Squash ( in one inch cubes)
- 6 C. Chicken Broth
- 1 large apple (Peeled, cored and diced)
- 1/2 C. apple juice

So this recipe is pretty simple. Basically all you need to do is peel and dice the apple, squash and onion. Place the onion in the pot first so that you can cook them until they start to appear to be translucent. Once they look translucent then you can add the squash, apple and broth. Cook all the ingredients until they come to a boil then let them simmer for 30-45 minutes. Once the squash and apple are soft the you can place the soup in a blender until it comes out creamy! Right now Im at the stage of letting everything simmer. I hope this tastes okay!! If not at least I have left over pasta from last night.

Simmer, simmer, simmer! Can't wait to try this soup out!

 

 Well, here's my soup. I give it a B. Honestly it wasn't my favorite. Not that it wasn't good but I guess Im not a big squash person. I usually like squash soup at restaurants but I think this one was a little to strong. Zac really liked it though so he is taking it for left overs.
