“I love how making soup really warms you up. If you use precut squash, this one is even easier,” says Katie.

Ingredients
- 1 2 1/2-pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut into sixths
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into sixths
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the squash, apple and onion on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to combine. Roast until fork-tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make a sachet with the garlic, thyme and bay leaf (tie in a bundle using cheesecloth and twine). Bring the chicken broth and sachet to a low boil in a stockpot over high heat. Add the roasted apple, onion and squash (set aside a few cubes of the roasted squash for topping). Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove the sachet. Use an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender in small batches, and blend until smooth and creamy. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with the reserved roasted squash.

Reviews
I made this in January 2023. It was kind of tasteless. I added some nutmeg and cinnamon to give it more flavor, but overall meh for me. No one else in the family showed any interest in it. Bummer.
I loved this soup! I ended up putting a blend of thyme, rosemary, and sage because I bought them in the same package. I didn’t use a cheese cloth packet because I didn’t have one but I was able to pick out the bay leaves and stems of everything. I added maybe 1/4 c heavy cream because why not. It was delicious!
This is one of the best butternut squash soup recipes. Definitely a family favorite on a cold winter night.
This is an awesome flavored soup. Who knew apples would taste good with squash. I did add sage which was really good with it. And a tiny drizzle of cream. YUMMO
Lovely family favorite. I use just 3 cups of broth and stir in one cup of local apple cider. Top with thyme cheddar croutons. Yum
What kind of apple?
This is a keeper! Simple, healthy and delicious. Than you for sharing.
