Recipe Wednesday: Turbo Fire Butternut Squash & Green Apple Soup


I have to be honest and say that we didn't love this recipe. If you like Butternut Squash soup, you may like it. It has a good texture and it smells great when you are cooking it. It is also easy to make. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Turbo Fire Butternut Squash & Green Apple Soup

Makes 4 servings

1 bag (about 4 cups) precut butternut squash pieces
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp. nutmeg
4 cubes chicken bouillon
4 cups water (or substitute 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock for water and bouillon)
Salt and pepper to taste

Place butternut squash, sliced apples, chicken stock, and spices into slow cooker. Cook on low heat for about 6 to 8 hours. Cool. Puree in a blender (for chunkier soup, use potato masher instead of blender.) Return soup to slow cooker to keep warm. Sever with garlic parmesan toast and small mixed green salad.
