Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and chop the flesh into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Peel, core, and chop the two apples into small cubes.
  3. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
  4. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Add the cubed butternut squash, chopped apples, and chicken stock to the pot.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer until the squash and apples are very tender, about 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly.
  9. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standing blender or food processor to puree.
  10. Return the pureed soup to the pot if using a blender. Stir in the apple juice.
  11. Simmer briefly over low heat to blend flavors and adjust consistency with additional stock or water if needed.
  12. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. Serve hot, garnished with extra shredded apple if desired.
