Gluten Free Butternut Squash Apple Soup

I love soup, but out of all my gluten free soup recipes this has to be my new fave! In an attempt to eat healthier I have been purchasing produce that I have either never purchased before or seldom do. I purchased a butternut squash and decided to make this gluten free butternut squash apple soup. The traditional butternut squash recipes just did not appeal to me. I decided to add a bit of apple to sweeten it. Below you will find my butternut squash and apple soup recipe. It is low in sodium.

Gluten Free Butternut Squash Apple Soup

A flavorful, low-fat, low-sodium, dairy-free, gluten-free butternut apple soup.

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large whole clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion (about 1 small onion)
  • 1 large stalk coarsely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 3.5 lbs.), peeled, seeded and cubed (about 3/4")
  • 1/2 large apple, cubed (about 3/4")
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/3 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 cups low-sodium gluten-free chicken broth (HerbOx, Better Than Bouillon)
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt and additional nutmeg for garnishing (or non-dairy alternative)
  • Fine sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • Gluten free breadsticks (Schar's brand) (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Heat oil in a large pot.
  2. Add onion, carrots, celery and garlic to the pan and stir; sauté for about 4 minutes.
  3. Add thyme, rosemary and nutmeg; and stir. Cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Add squash and apples; and stir.
  5. Add chicken broth; and bring to a boil. (Add more chicken broth, if necessary, so that the chicken broth meets the top of the squash and apple cubes.)
  6. Lower temperature to medium; and allow to simmer for about 35 minutes.
  7. Puree in a food processor or blender in batches until smooth; salt and pepper to taste. (Allow it to cool some if you are using a blender to puree it, or the pressure from the heat will blow off the lid during blending.
  8. Reheat in a sauce pan, if necessary. Garnish with a dab of sour cream or Greek yogurt and then sprinkle with a couple of dashes of nutmeg, or with gluten free breadsticks if desired. Schars makes good ones. Serve warm or cold.
