Sweet Potato, Squash and Apple Soup

A lazy Sunday afternoon calls for a lazy stroll to the nearby market, and a lazy recipe for soup. The following recipe is overflowing with the flavors of Autumn: butternut squash, apples, sweet potatoes and onion. Before trying the soup, I was convinced that it would taste peculiar, but because the majority of ingredients have a sweetness to them, it works wonderfully. The soup only has a hint of apple in it. Not to brag or anything, but my roommate Abbe said it was the best thing I've ever made. Success!!

Have a happy Sunday.
