The warming hues of the fall teamed with the delicious blend of seasonal produce will make this Golden Autumn Soup a treat for family and guests alike.

Ripe for the picking, apples and butternut squash pair beautifully together. Teeming in antioxidants, nutmeg is also a perfect pairing with this lovely Soup.  It’s slightly nutty and sweet, and keep in mind that a little freshly ground nutmeg goes a long way, so use less of it than you would with store-bought ground nutmeg.

Personally, I love the fresh stuff. It’s so much more flavourful. That aromatic spice just doesn’t compare!

Prep Ahead

You may also try making this soup a day ahead and serving it chilled, rather than warm, which heightens individual flavours.

Variants

Any variety of winter squash works in this recipe however; butternut gives this soup texture and the golden colour.

Enjoy this Golden Autumn Soup!
