This is fabulous soup for the fall season.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup honey
- 1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 acorn squashes, halved and seeded
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
- 1 large white onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 8 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix butter, brown sugar, and honey together in a bowl. Spoon about 1/6 of the butter mixture into the cavities of each of the butternut squash halves and the acorn squash halves. Arrange squash halves in large baking dishes.
Step 3
Roast squash in preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Arrange apples around the squash halves and continue baking until flesh is easily removable with a spoon, about 30 minutes more.
Step 4
When you add the apples to the oven, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat; add onion and thyme. Cook onion, stirring frequently, until completely caramelized, about 30 minutes.
Step 5
Scoop roasted squash into a large pot; add apples and caramelized onion. Pour vegetable stock, apple cider, and water into the pot; bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Step 6
Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Reheat before serving, as needed.
Cook’s Note:
Toasting the squash seeds gives you the perfect garnish for the soup.
