5-INGREDIENT APPLE-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Although it has very few ingredients, this soup is intensely flavorful because the squash is browned before it's simmered. Simmering it in coconut milk instead of stock makes it extra rich and creamy. Don't skimp on the drizzle of olive oil at the end; it's there not only for presentation, but also to balance the flavor.

Steps:
- Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a Dutch oven or large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add half the squash and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bottom of the pot and some of the squash pieces are browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the squash to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and uncooked squash to the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and deglazing the brown bits on the bottom of the pot with a splash of water and a wooden spoon if it looks like it's going to burn, about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the cooked squash back to the pot.
- Add the coconut milk and apples to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the squash is quite tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, or transfer the squash and apple chunks with a slotted spoon to a blender to puree, then return the blended mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Serve the soup topped with apple slices and big drizzles of olive oil.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut acorn squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place, cut side down, on a baking sheet coated with olive-oil cooking spray. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Combine chicken stock, apple cider, 1 teaspoon horseradish, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Scoop squash flesh out of skins, and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add 1 cup stock mixture, and puree until smooth. Stir squash mixture into pan with remaining stock, and keep soup warm.
- Peel and core apples, and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Transfer to a small bowl, add lemon juice and remaining 2 teaspoons horseradish, and toss to combine. Heat a medium sautepan coated with olive-oil cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add apple mixture, and saute until golden brown. Serve soup garnished with sauteed apple mixture and chopped parsley.
- Individually wrap 2 1/2 to 3 pounds beets in aluminum foil, leaving the skin on. Roast them in 450-degree oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins by wiping the beets with a paper towel. Proceed with the acorn-squash soup recipe from step 2.
- Wrap about 3 pounds peeled and trimmed carrots in an aluminum foil packet. Roast them in 450-degree oven until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Proceed with the acorn-squash soup recipe from step 2.

SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP
Yogurt provides a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the apples and the cider; squash puree gives the soup a creamy texture, without the fat of heavy cream.
