ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, GARLIC, AND APPLE SOUP
Butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic roasted in large pieces and then added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. Immersion blender does the trick for thickening without adding fat. Use curry powder in place of cayenne if you prefer more savory flavors than spicy. Apple juice can also be used in place of cider, and chicken broth in place of vegetable.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash is a great choice for this soup because it is sweet and has a smooth, creamy texture. If you can't find butternut squash, you can also use acorn squash or kabocha squash.
- Roast the squash and apples: Roasting the squash and apples brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even apple cider.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Garnish the soup: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of the soup. Try garnishing the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil.
