Butternut Squash & Apple Soup


Submitted by winkwing

Makes 12 servings

Delicious autumn soup with no cream and very little fat. A serving is about a cup of soup.

Ingredients
1 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups chopped onions (sweet)
1 tablespoons curry powder (to taste)
4 pounds butternut squash
1 1/2 pounds apples
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups apple cider
Directions
  1. Heat the butter, olive oil, onions and curry powder in a large pot on low heat for 15 – 20 minutes, uncovered, until onions soften. Stir, making sure to scrap bottom of pot.

  2. Peel the squash with sharp knife or vegetable peeler (yes, squash will peel with a vegetable peeler). Cut in half, remove seeds. Cut squash into smaller chuncks. Peel, quarter and core the apples. (since you are going to put it through a food processor I left the skins on the apples). Cut into chunks.

  3. Add squash, apples, salt, pepper and cider to the onions in the large pot. Bring to a boil and cover, simmering for 30 – 40 minutes until squash and apples are tender. Using a food processor, puree mixture coarsely and pour back into pot. If necessary, add additional apple cider to get desired consistency. Serve hot and enjoy!
