Ingredients
The combination of butternut squash, apples and thyme is delicious, but to give it a different twist, add 2 tsp. grated ginger along with the shallots and add 1 tsp. curry powder instead of the thyme.
- 2 containers (20 oz. each) fresh butternut squash chunks, or 3lbs peeled butternut squash cut into chunks
- 2.5 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
- ¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1 cup sliced shallots or chopped onion
- 1 large Macintosh apple, peeled, cored and chopped
- 4 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
- ½ tsp. dried thyme
- 1 cup 2 % milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick foil or line with regular foil, then coat with nonstick spray.
Place squash on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with 1 ½ Tbsp. of the oil and sprinkle with ½ tsp. of the salt and ¼ tsp. of the pepper; toss to coat.
Roast 30 minutes. Remove from oven and toss. Return to oven and roast until squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large, preferably nonstick, saucepan. Add shallots and cook 5 minutes or until tender. Add apple and cook 3 minutes until light golden.
Stir in chicken broth and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes until apple is tender.
Add roasted squash to saucepan and blend until smooth using a hand-held immersion blender or let cool slightly then, in batches, lift out solids with a slotted spoon into a blender and blend until smooth, adding some broth if needed to make the mixture blend more easily. Return pureed soup to saucepan.
Stir in milk and heat through.
