Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups finely diced onion
- 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 4 cups chicken or veggie broth (your call!)
- 2 pounds butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
- 2 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup apple juice
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a big soup pot over medium heat.
- Toss in the diced onions, curry powder, and ginger.
- Let them mingle for about 5 minutes, covered, until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Pour in the broth, then add the squash and apples.
- Bring everything to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer.
- Cover partially and give it about 20–25 minutes, as the squash and apples should be fork-tender.
- Grab your immersion blender or work in batches with a regular blender.
- Blend the mixture until it’s silky smooth.
- Leave a few chunks if you like a little texture.
- Pour the purée back into the pot and stir in the apple juice.
- Warm it through and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Ladle it into bowls and top with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of grated apple, or even a handful of crunchy croutons.
