This creamy and delicious butternut squash and apple soup comes together quickly with just a few ingredients. It's an easy, healthy, and satisfying meal option the whole family loves.
In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 4 cups cubed squash and diced apple and sauté for 5 more minutes. Pour in 2 cups stock and ½ cup apple cider. Season it with ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Bring to simmer, cover and cook until squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth or desired consistency. Alternatively, remove squash chunks with a slotted spoon and puree in a blender or food processor, then return the squash to the pot and stir until combined.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to three days.
