Our Apple Squash Soup is fall in a bowl! The tangy combination of tart apples and warming spices elevates this butternut squash soup to first-course status.

Enjoy as a cozy autumn soup on the weekends, for lunch with a nice chunk of bread, or for a light dinner with salad. It’s a perfect starter for Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday meals, too.

Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups peeled, chopped butternut squash
2 cups peeled, chopped tart apples ( such as Braeburn, Cortland, McIntosh, or Pink Lady)
1 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
1/2 cup light cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. In a pot over medium heat, warm oil. Add squash, apples, and onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. 
  2. Add curry powder, cardamom, and cinnamon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. 
  3. Add chicken stock and cider, bring mixture to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for 20 minutes or until squash is soft.
  4. Transfer soup to a blender or food processor and purée in batches. Return to pot and cook over medium heat until mixture is reduced by about one-third.
  5.  Add cream and season with salt and pepper.

I wish these recipes would be more specific. They are always vague about such things as what kind of apple is best. You're left wondering what to use in recipes.

Hi, Julie. For this recipe you will want a tart apple such as Braeburn, Cortland, McIntosh, or Pink Lady (also sometimes called Cripps Pink).

This was easy to make and the fragrance was wonderful. It tastes very good too. I used the apples that I had on hand. One granny smith and a gala apple. It was fine. I also added more curry powder. Very nice soup.

Could this soup be made without the apples?
