Ingredients
1/2 of a butternut squash
2 green apples, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
3 cups onions, cut into medium cubes
2 tsp olive oil or other

the veggies along with 2 cups of water and process in a blender until
smooth. Remove in a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining squash and
veggies.
Place the butternut squash soup on low heat and
simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
