Steps:
- 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.
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.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH RED ONION-APPLE TOPPING
I have tried so many recipes for squash soup. I finally tweaked enough recipes together to make this; the best soup ever!! I add milk to make it creamy but if you want to make it vegan omit it, it is still good without it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Toss squash, yellow onion, and carrots with 2TBSP oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Place celery(or seed), garlic, and herbs in a pot with 2 cups water; stew over medium-low heat to create stock, about 20 minutes.
- Add squash mixture to pot and use a stick blender to puree. If you do not have a stick blender you can throw it in a blender.
- Then, add can of coconut milk and puree. Give it a taste; if needed (or wanted), add milk and adjust salt and pepper.
- Leave it on the stove for a little longer (15 min) and allow it to simmer while making the toppping.
- Topping: Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, when it is cooked about half way add the apples; cook until the apples and onions are caramelized.
- To serve: pour into bowls and top with Apple-Onion Topping. This reheats really well. I store the topping separate. Sometimes it thickens a bit after refrigerating; if you want it looser just add some more water or milk.
