Here are some notes on this recipe:
•Feel free to make this soup with other types of winter squash such as pumpkin, acorn, delicata, etc.
•I used a 2 ½ pound butternut squash for this recipe (weight is prior to peeling and de-seeding)
•Experiment with other warming spices such as ginger and nutmeg
•I used Braeburn apples in this soup; feel free to experiment with other types of apples
