Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
Two 3-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Next, add the apples, squash, garlic and onions and saute until the vegetables begin to sweat and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the sage, ground nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Add the stock, making sure that it covers the squash; if necessary, add a little water. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer until the squash is very tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan and butter. Serve immediately.

I would recommend this soup to anyone who loves butternut squash. It's a great way to warm up on a cold day.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too watery. I had to add more cornstarch to thicken it up.

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices.

This soup is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day. It was perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
