Squash, Apple and Onion Soup (Revised)

Submitted by samcp4

"This is a lovely thick and healthy soup. A good way to add fruit and vegetables to your diet. Add garlic if wanted. I used to fry the onion, and garlic when I used it, in a little olive oil before adding the other ingredients, but I found it makes no real difference to the flavour. Serve with crusty bread and butter or cream cheese."

I do love squash and had exactly the ingredients need for this interesting soup. So I made it.. and... yummmmmmm. We all agreed it was wonderful, and it was so easy to make. I cubed everything to about 1 inch and it was done in 25 minutes. It wasn't too thick.. perfect. Thanks for a great recipe
