Butternut Squash Apple Soup

Yesterday we enjoyed a day off from work thanks to Veterans Day. I work for the government and Josh works for a bank so we usually get all of the random holidays off. We ran a lot of errands, took our friends’ dog for a run/walk, relaxed, and of course did some cooking! The highlight of the day:)

We made a big batch of butternut squash soup and it is the perfect fall soup!!

You puree it until desired consistency, but we kept it pretty thick. I love the orange color. This soup has few ingredients and is so simple to make. I can’t wait to have some for lunch today!!
