I was only recently introduced to butternut squash, thanks to a kind and generous friend for sharing her garden bounty. i fell in love with the butternut squash soup recipe she gave me and was excited to continue trying various dishes and soups with this delicious vegetable. when i found this recipe including apples i knew i had to try it the smoky flavor, the sweetness that the apples bring, the smooth texture and rich flavor of this butternut squash soup is a unique and delightful blend. i wanted to experiment with a warm appetizer for my next holiday meal.
