soup to warm your bones...

It definitely felt like a soup day yesterday, so i attempted to make a butternut squash & apple soup. i've never made this kind of soup before and i was pretty please with the taste & consistency... also, this was probably the most easy soup recipe i've ever made, no lie.

Directions

1. Set a large saucepan over medium-high heat and heat the butter for 1-2 minutes. Do not let it turn brown. Add the onion, celery and carrot and sauté for 5 minutes (just to soften).

2. Add squash, apple, broth and water. Bring to boil. Cover, turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until squash and carrots soften. Puree (i used my immersion blender) until smooth.

3. Add agave nectar, salt and spices to taste.
