This recipe was inspired by the season of autumn. It is also the very first recipe I have ever posted to food52 because it is so incredibly good that I want to share with all of you!
Best of all, this soup is packed with flavor and texture. The apple in the soup adds a little tartness to balance out the sweet and the savory. Last but not least, it is goodie foodie fo yo tummy! This recipe is very versatile. You can also use butternut squash for this recipe —Skinny bitches

I see garlic in the ingredients list, but I don't see it in the preparation. When do they go in?

Same for the second half of the brown sugar. Where does it go?
