I love butternut squash soup, although I've never put apple in before.I'll be giving this a go, Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe slight sharpness from Granny smith apple helps to balance the sweetness from the squash.
DeleteThis sounds delicious. Pumpkin soup is one of my favorites. I've never heard of adding an apple, although I imagine it would improve the flavor.

The apple reduces the sweetness from the squash as granny smiths are fairlt tart in taste.
DeleteThat sounds delicious! I've never made a butternut squash soup before!
ReplyDeleteits easy nad quick to make with lots of flavour.

DeleteI am on Weight Watchers and this is a perfect soup-the only points value would be in the olive oil, and having a small amount each day of certain oils is a requirement f the program. Alana from the UBC.
