From Mother Earth News:

Esteemed by the Greek god Apollo, cultivated by Egyptian pyramid builders and eaten for breakfast by American settlers, the radish has been around forever. It was prescribed by physicians to prevent scurvy, used by herbalists to ward off women's chatter, and salted or pickled to accompany food and drink throughout recorded time.

From Just Food:

Butternut squash and apples are a classic combination, and this soup combines them perfectly.
