The Apple and Acorn Squash Soup

I made this soup. My mom loves it and my niece is making her own batch tonight! It is just as described, savory; but, it has that hint of sweetness.

The texture from coupling the squash and potato loans a creaminess that would make you swear this is a cream-based soup.

I wanted something a little more than soup tonight, but didn't feel like making anything else. I toasted some walnut pieces in a dry skillet and tossed them into my serving. It pairs wonderfully with the subtle undertones of the apple while adding a soft crunch and making one serving very satisfying!

Hint: Don't skip the nutmeg, it really puts this soup over the top!
