      Soup is perfect this time of year!  Whether it be a cup of soup with salad for lunch, a big bowl topped with protein for dinner, or just a little appetizer, soup is one of my favorite things to make.  This recipe is paleo, gluten-free, vegetarian/vegan, healthy and quite yummy!  Did I mention that it’s SUPER easy, too?  You just can’t beat it!

      Butternut Squash Apple Soup

      Adapted from Elena’s Pantry

      Ingredients

      • 2 tablespoons olive oil
      • 1 medium onion, diced
      • 1 medium-large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced into 2 inch cubes
      • 3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I used Fuji apples)
      • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
      • 8 cups low-sodium vegetable stock (you can also use chicken stock or 1/2 stock and 1/2 water)
      • Pepita seeds
      • Salt + Pepper

      Directions

      1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil. 
      2. Carmelize the onion, sautéing 10-12  minutes or until golden brown.
      3. Add the butternut squash cubes, apple slices and cinnamon.  Cook for 10 minutes.
      4. Pour stock into the pot and bring to a boil. 
      5. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the butternut squash and apple are tender.
      6. In a Vitamix blender, puree the soup in small batches.  I did this in 3 batches.
      7. When ready to serve, heat a small pan on low and toast the pepita seeds.  Garnish the soup with the seeds and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
      8. ENJOY!

      We had ours for lunch alongside a spinach salad.  We have leftovers for the week.  Vince can eat a big bowl of soup with roasted chicken for dinner, while I can eat mine as-is with a salad.  Perfect, healthy soup for a cold day!
