butternut squash apple soup

I love making this in the fall with local apples.

• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 rib of celery, chopped
• I carrot, chopped
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, chopped
• 1 tart green apple, peeled, cored, chopped
• (squash and apple should be at a 3 to 1 ratio)
• 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth if vegetarian)
• Pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and pepper

1. Combine butter, onion, celery, and carrot in large saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes.
   
2. Add squash, apple, and broth. Bring to boil.
   
3. Simmer for 10 minutes or until squash is soft.
   
4. Puree. Add spices to taste.
