Sweet Potato, Butternut Squash soup with apples (Manisha)

This is an easy Fall soup that's popular in our home. Good for the immune system. I'm not one to measure. To make this veg-friendly, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Vegan-friendly, too.

1 Butternut squash, medium, peeled, de-seeded, cubed
2 Sweet potatoes, large, peeled, cubed
2 apples, large, peeled, cubed
2 large carrots, cleaned, sliced (or a handful of mini carrots)
2 boxes of Organic chicken broth
1 can of white kidney beans, rinsed
Garlic cloves, as many as you are comfortable with.
2 tbsp pesto.
