Butternut squash and apples go well together and bring back memories of fall. Using the Kuraidori Immersion Circulator and the Sous Vide method actually is a faster way of making a soup. The flavors combine together under the vacuum pressure quicker and with less nutrient loss than standard stove top methods. Heavy cream is added to each bowl of soup for some added richness. The soup can also be topped with some fresh apple slices for some added texture.

1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored, 1” dice
