Ingredients
- 2 pounds butternut squash , peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 white onion , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 9.5 ounces apple butter
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Season the butternut squash lightly with the salt and pepper, then arrange the butternut squash in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, roast for 30-35 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
- In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauteing until soft and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked squash, apple butter, apple juice, vegetable broth, yogurt, cinnamon, marjoram, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the onion mixture. Blend well using an immersion blender.*
- Bring to a low simmer over low heat. Do not heat too high or the yogurt can separate from the soup.
- To serve, ladle into soup bowls and top with desired garnishes.
