Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
4 cups chopped yellow onions (3 large)
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
5 pounds butternut squash (2 large)
1 1/2 pounds sweet apples, such as McIntosh (4 apples)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups water
2 cups good apple cider or juice

Directions

Warm the butter, olive oil, onions, and curry powder in a large stockpot uncovered over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the onions are tender. Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot.

Peel the squash, cut in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into chunks. Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Cut into chunks.

Add the squash, apples, salt, pepper, and 2 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the squash and apples are very soft. Process the soup through a food mill fitted with a large blade, or puree it coarsely in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.

Pour the soup back into the pot. Add the apple cider or juice and enough water to make the soup the consistency you like; it should be slightly sweet and quite thick. Check the salt and pepper and serve hot.

Perfect Fall Season Soup
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Before making the soup I read the reviews and used Chicken stock instead of water. I also added apple juice 1/4 cup at a... time to ensure my soup didn't get too sweet. I only needed 1/4 cup. My family all enjoyed the garnish of a 1 T of cream and crumbled mable bacon. Yummy: )Read more

awsome soup...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this soup was fantastic!! yes the squash is a pain to peel and cut(have good utensils on hand) but its`a no brainer using... FRESH vegetables and its not expensive! as i love to make soup, generally this type always requires creme or half n half....what i did is heated up just lukewarm FAT FREE half n half and when served in the bowl i put just a teaspoon of it in the center. just enough to look pretty and give it nice texture....this is a keeper and will make it over and over......thanks foodnetwork for always keeping it fun with great recipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!Read more

Too Sweet
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly and found it overly thick sweet. Might have been better with Granny Smith apples and more... liquid. Read more

Butternut and apple soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup is awsome!!! I can't believe anyone would not enjoy this soup especially if they like the ingredients. A... suggestion to make it a little easier is to use frozen squash it lessons the work and tastes delish!!!Read more
