How To Make Farmhouse Butternut Squash Soup
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. When the oil is hot, add the apples, squash, garlic, and onions. Saute until the vegetables softened; about 5to7 minutes.

When the vegetables are soft, add in the sage, nutmeg and season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste. Cook the vegetables for another 2 minutes, then pour in the vegetable stock. Make sure that the liquid covers the vegetables. You may need to add a little water if it does not cover the vegetables completely.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

Simmer the soup covered for about 30 minutes, until the squash is very tender.
After 30 minutes, turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, if you do not have an immersion blender, dump batches into a regular blender, but be careful, the soup is very hot.When the soup is nice and smooth, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter; warm through.
Serve this soup hot with crackers, croutons or a slice of crusty bread.
