Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, and Cinnamon Apple Soup

Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Apple Soup

Soup season is one of our favorite seasons of the year. In fact, soup season lasts almost every season for us. Soup is a great way to consume a lot of our vegetables and we credit Melanie Cornacchia for sending us this great recipe.

Ingredients

¾ cups chopped cooking or sweet onion
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 cups vegetable stock (or filtered water)
2 cups diced butternut squash (washed and peel on/off*)
2 cups diced sweet potatoes or yams
1 cup chopped apple** with peel (cored)
¼ – ½ tsp Himalayan or grey salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground pepper
½ tsp ground nutmeg, optional

*The peel generally isn’t waxy or too hard on this type of organic squash. It can be made with the peel. Often vegetable skins contain many essential vitamins and minerals. phytonutrients, and added fiber.
**If you are using a non-organic apple, remove the peel.

  2. Add the stock/water, squash, potato/yam, apple, seasonings, and stir and bring to a boil.
  3. Turn down the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes with the lid partially on. Check squash and potato tenderness and also taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
