Today we have a very simple Apple & Squash Soup featuring butternut squash and apples for a sweet, cozy soup good for all those chilly nights!

6 cups water
Salt to taste

Fresh or dried herbs, for garnish

1. Add squash and apples to a large stockpot. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.

3. Blend squash and apples in food processor until totally smooth, adding almond milk or reserved cooking water as needed for texture. Drizzle in olive oil and pulse to combine. Return soup to stockpot to warm. Garnish with herbs and enjoy!
