For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of maple syrup for added texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMelt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent (5-10 minutes).
02
StepAdd butternut squash, potatoes, apple, carrot, and celery to the pot. Pour in chicken broth and enough apple cider to cover the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer, adding more apple cider as needed to maintain liquid level, until vegetables are tender (35-40 minutes).
03
StepUsing an immersion blender, carefully blend the vegetable mixture until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, being cautious of hot liquids, and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
04
StepStir in half-and-half cream, cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer gently until heated through (5-10 minutes), being careful not to boil.
05
StepLadle the soup into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
