This Roasted Squash and Apple Soup with Andouille Sausage is sweet, savory and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Rich and creamy, with a little spice, this is the perfect winter soup for any occasion.

“soup is the song of the hearth
…and the home.” This quote, from Louis P. De Gouy, just about sums up exactly how I feel about soup. I’m a big fan of cozy, hearty winter soups. This Roasted Squash and Apple Soup could not get ANY cozier! The sweetness of the pureed roasted squash, apple, and onions, plus the spicy and salty flavor of the andouille sausage, takes this dish to depths most soups only dream of. Sweet AND savory, with hints of cinnamon and sage running through, this soup is by far my all time favorite cozy comfort food.

why i love this roasted squash and apple soup with andouille sausage
This soup is a SHOW STOPPER! It can stand alone or go on the side. It’s super rich and hearty, so a little goes a long way. But not only is this soup impressively delicious, it’s NOT THAT HARD! You roughly chop all the veggies and plop them onto a roasting dish all together. After they are done roasting, you pretty much just dump everything into a heavy bottom pot, puree, and simmer! It can come together in a little over an hour, and you can keep it simmering on the stove all day. With the andouille sausage finely chopped and fried up on the stove, you can get a little spicy salty kick in every bite!

how to make roasted squash and apple soup with andouille sausage
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet with non stick spray or aluminum foil. Place butternut squash, apples, and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the cinnamon, and mix until completely coated. Pour vegetables onto baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes. Once they are done roasting, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the rest of the olive oil a large heavy bottom pot or dutch oven. Sauté garlic and sage until fragrant. Add roasted vegetables, pumpkin puree, chicken stock, cream, curry powder, ground ginger, and salt and let simmer for 15 minutes. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Let simmer for another 15 minutes, or longer, so help the flavors develop.
In a small sauté pan, sauté the andouille sausage until browned and crispy. Top soup with andouille sausage, cream, and crispy fried sage (it doesn’t taste great raw).

Notes

Such a delicious soup! So rich and satisfying. It’s also beautiful and would definitely impress your friends (when we get back to being able to cook for our friends!).
Thanks Cindy, so glad you loved it!!
Oh my God this is the best looking soup I’ve ever seen.
It tastes just as good!
Is the andouille sausage smoked? I see at the grocery store both smoked and a package that does not say “smoked”.
I didn’t use smoked but I think it would add a ton of flavor!
