Description

Honeynut Squash Soup is the most delicious fall soup! It’s extra creamy and super sweet without any added sweetener or cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 3 pounds honeynut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 small apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground sage
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy!


Notes

Be sure to simmer the squash until the cubes are soft. They won’t puree well if they’re too hard and can give the soup a gritty texture.

If your honeynut squash soup is too thick, add a few splashes of vegetable broth and give it a good stir.

Serve with some fresh crusty bread and a salad for a meal, or as a simple holiday starter.
