Roasted Butternut Squash Apple Soup is vegetarian and vegan friendly soup that is healthy, delicious and light.
I made this Roasted Butternut Squash Apple Soup for a friend who just had oral surgery. She is one of the sweetest, most considerate and thoughtful person I know. Of course, she didn’t tell anyone she was having surgery, so I didn’t find out until a week later.
Poor thing, she was on a liquid diet for the first week. So, I invited her over for lunch and served this pureed butternut squash apple soup, and a pureed bean soup.
Roasting the butternut squash and apples concentrates their delicious earthy flavors.
I made a maple syrup coconut cream scented with cinnamon to garnish the soup. You can buy pure coconut cream in a can from Trader Joe’s, or scoop coconut cream from a can of coconut milk.
Just a dollop or two of maple syrup coconut cream adds that little something extra special to this Roasted Butternut Squash Apple Soup. This is the perfect Fall or Winter soup, whether for a casual meal, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I’m so glad I invited my friend over for lunch. With texting and email, it seems we see our friends less and less. Spending time face to face, in conversation, is essential to our relationships with people we hold near and dear to our hearts.
