Roasted Pumpkin & Apple Soup
Roasted Pumpkin Apple Soup
It is officially fall and that means pumpkins, apples, and squash are available by the truckload at local farmers markets. This recipe utilizes all of that and more, and since the oven does all the cooking I can spend more time out in the cool fall weather with my kids and my husband. With just a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon, this dish is the perfect way to embrace fall and even early winter days.
