Roasted Butternut Squash and
Apple Soup
Welcome the fall and winter seasons with this flavorful soup.
Makes about 10 cups
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 pounds butternut squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
3 apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons minced ginger (about one 2-inch piece)
1½ quarts vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoons sea salt
pinch freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Pour the oil over the cut sides of the squash. Place squash cut
side down on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Place in the
preheated oven and roast 30 to 40 minutes, or until a paring knife
can easily pierce the skin of the squash.
While the squash is cooking, put the butter into a large stock pot
set over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the
onion and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the
apples and sugar; sauté an additional 12 minutes, or until the
apples are soft. Add the ginger and sauté until tender, about 3 to 4
minutes. Stir in the roasted squash, broth and spices. Bring the
mixture to a boil and then reduce heat so that the mixture is just
simmering. Let the soup simmer for about 1 hour.
Strain the soup, reserving solids and liquid separately. Put half of
the liquid and then half of the solids into the jar of your Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender.
Run on High for 25 seconds; remove and reserve. Add the
remaining liquid and solids and repeat.
Serve immediately.
