INGREDIENTS
1.5 lbs (750 g) Butternut squash, peeled and cut
into 1 inch cubes
1 Small Yellow onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Olive oil
½ Teaspoon (2.5 ml) Salt
¼ Teaspoon (1 ml) Ground black pepper
4 Sprigs Fresh thyme
1 Apple, peeled and chopped in 1 inch cubes
1 leek
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Unsalted butter
2 Teaspoons (10 ml) Curry powder
1 Cup (250 ml) Apple cider
4 Cups (1 litre) Chicken stock
1 Cup (250 ml) Sour cream
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, (page 58) or
2 Cups (500 ml) Spiced Croutons (page 58)
METHOD
1. In a large bowl toss cubed butternut
squash, apple, yellow onion, pepper and
fresh thyme in olive oil to coat.
2. Place the ingredients into the roasting
pan. Set the wire rack to the bottom rack
height position. Turn the function dial
until the indicator on the LCD screen
points to the ROAST function. Set the
temperature to 400°F (205°C) and the
timer to 30 minutes.
Press START/CANCEL to activate.
3. In the meantime, using only the
white part of the leek, slice it in half
lengthwise. Rinse under cold running
water to clean off any dirt that may be
trapped in between the layers. Slice into
¼ inch slices.
4. In a medium stockpot, on low-medium
heat, melt the butter until it becomes
foamy. Add the sliced leek and cook
until softened, about 7 minutes. Add
the curry powder, salt and pepper and
continue to cook for 1 minute. Add the
roasted butternut squash, apple and
onion to the stockpot and mix to coat
with the spices.
5. Deglaze with apple cider, scraping the
bottom of the pot to release any stuck
on bits. Add stock and bring to a boil.
Turn down to a simmer and cook for 20
minutes with the lid on. Allow the soup
to cool before pureeing in a blender or
food processor.
6. Divide amongst bowls and garnish with
a dollop of sour cream or mascarpone
cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Toasted
Pumpkin Seeds (page 58) or Spiced
Croutons (page 58).
