Description

Cozy up with a bowl of butternut squash soup made with apples and ginger!


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

  5. Add the squash and apple and sauteรฉ together for another minute.

Pressed for time? Microwave the squash for 4-5 minutes, then roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
