Apple Butternut Squash Soup

Apple Butternut Squash Soup blends cooked mashed butternut squash with tart Granny Smith apples, sautéed onions, sage, and a touch of ginger for a gently spiced, smooth soup. The mixture is simmered then pureed for a creamy texture and finished with milk to soften the flavors. This soup offers a comforting balance between sweet and savory notes, suitable for a cool day or as a starter to a fall meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion chopped, large
  • 1 teaspoons rubbed sage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 14 1/2 ounces vegetable broth
  • 1 cups water
  • 2 apple Granny Smith, peeled, cored and finely chopped, medium tart
  • 1 pounds butternut squash cooked and mashed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large saucepan, saute onion and sage in butter until tender (about 3 minutes)). Add broth, water and finely chopped apples and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Add mashed squash, ginger and salt. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
  3. With an immersion blender, puree mixture until smooth OR use a blender, processing soup in batches, returning to pan. Add milk and heat through.

Notes

  • Butternut squash can be cooked ahead by microwaving for 7-10 minutes or roasting at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until tender, then mashed for easier soup preparation.
  • Use Granny Smith apples peeled and finely chopped to introduce tartness that balances the natural sweetness of the squash.
  • Simmering the soup uncovered after adding squash helps concentrate flavors without thinning the texture too much.
