Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and garlic, cooking until the shallot is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the honeynut squash, apple, vegetable broth, and sea salt. Increase the temperature to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat as needed. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend until smooth. If using a regular blender, you may need to do it in batches depending on the size of your blender. Season with sage, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Serve warm and enjoy!
