Butternut Squash, Roasted Garlic, and Apple Soup

I told you that I have been really into soups lately.. Here is another one that you can't really go wrong with. I mean...come on...all these things are absolutely delicious! I tend to not specify the exact amount of spices, because that is something that I feel like you 'taste' out. I kept tinkering and got something filling and scrumptious!! Serve this with homemade whole wheat bread for an absolute crowd pleaser! Bring on the cold nights and the need for comfort food!!

1 butternut squash
4 + garlic cloves
2 green apples peeled and chopped
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper
cinnamon
ground cloves
nutmeg
olive oil
3 cups of vegetable stock

Directions:

Heat a little olive oil and add the garlic cloves (just peel them and press them so they are a little crushed and let flavor easier). Fry them in medium heat until they are golden and you can smell it. Add the chopped and peeled apple and squash. Add salt and pepper and stir some more. After 2 or 3 minutes add the veggie stock and let simmer until the squash is done.

Blend everything and serve with good bread. You can add a little lemon before eating. Enjoy!
