Butternut Squash Apple Soup

Soup. It always gets to this point in the year and we crave soup.
T loves it, b loves it, I love it and t hates all soup that isn't Lipton's shocking yellow stain inducing "chicken" noodle.

1 butternut squash chopped

1 sweet potato chopped

1 onion chopped

1 Apple chopped

1 tbsp Cinnamon

1 tbsp Ginger

1/2 tbsp Curry

1/2 tbsp Allspice

1/2 tbsp Cumin

1 tbsp (or more to taste) Flaked chilli peppers

4 cloves of Garlic winced

5 or 6 cups of Chicken stock

Throw all ingredients except the chilli flakes into a slow cooker, heavy pan or dutch oven.

Cook until vegetables are softened.

If you use the slow cooker:

This can be dumped into the slow cooker first thing in the morning and left to simmer on low until the evening.

If you want faster soup for supper immediately, use a dutch over or sauce pan and bring everything to a boil and drop the heat down to a simmer until veggies are knife tender.

I add the chilli flakes in last. Both T and I love the heat, but the kids don't. We will separate the batches for them and add in the spice to our own soup to taste.

This is a go to with Ham, cheese and bacon scones….
