Variations

This apple and butternut squash soup, by itself, is gluten-free!

  • Curry powder can be used as a substitute for Cayenne Pepper. You can also adjust the amount to your heat tolerance level or completely omit for a more sweeter soup.
  • We used Honeycrisp apples in this recipe because it brought just the right amount of sweet & tart and juiciness. Other varieties of apples, such as Gala, Cortland, and Fuji can also be used with similar results.
  • Asian Pears are a nice addition to this soup as well!
  • Feel free to omit the milk if you’re lactose intolerant.
