Time 1h10m

Yield Four to five servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup peanut oil
1 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces (approximately 4 cups)
2 Northern Spy or McIntosh apples, peeled, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces (approximately 2 cups)
1 large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped (approximately 1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
3/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup cider
1 quart homemade chicken stock
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup finely minced scallions, green tops included, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the peanut oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the squash, apples and onion, stir to coat with oil and saute uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the onion is transparent.
  • Stir in the mace, curry and cardamom and continue cooking until the onion begins to brown.
  • Add the cider. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for three minutes. Add the stock, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture, partially covered, for another 35 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food-processor bowl and process until the soup is smooth, then return the soup to the stockpot. Reduce the soup, uncovered, over medium-low heat, to about one-fourth. Stir occasionally.
  • Stir in the half-and-half, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Pour into warmed bowls and sprinkle the scallions over the top.
