Ingredients you will need

Fresh Vegetables - butternut squash, carrots, onion, and garlic
Apple - any type will do! I used a McIntosh.
Vegetable Broth - 3 to 4 cups depending on how thick you like your soup
Fresh Herbs - sage and thyme add great fall flavor!
Olive Oil - for sauteing the onion and garlic
Spices - celery salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper (optional)
How to Prepare

Making Autumn Squash Soup is so easy! First, you will cube the squash and apple, slice the carrots, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop the sage.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and saute another minute.

Next, add the squash, carrots, herbs & spices, and 3 cups of the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the pot from the heat, and carefully remove the thyme sprigs.

Carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you could add batches to a traditional blender. If you prefer a thinner soup, whisk in an additional cup of vegetable broth.

Ladle into bowls, and serve!
So Delicious!
Garnish your soup with fresh sage or thyme leaves, freshly ground black pepper, roasted pepitas, and/or pomegranate seeds!
This soup is great served with crusty bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a salad!
