Apple Squash Soup

Apple Squash Soup

This soup is a great starter to any meal or if you just want something to cozy up to on a chilly day. I used an organic squash from our family garden which I was very excited to serve for my big family get together this past weekend. This soup smelled amazing as it simmered. Try a new soup out, it might just become one of your favorites!
