Acorn Squash and Granny Smith Apple Soup image

I got this recipe from about.com and it was written by Fiona Haynes. I'm adding this because this is a great recipe and tastes great, wonderful on a cool autumn night. "Acorn Squash has a slightly earthier taste than butternut squash, which complements the sweetness of the apple and mild spice of the curry powder. Enjoy this acorn squash and apple soup with some crusty whole-grain bread." -Fiona Haynes
