Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the butternut squash, onions, and apples into 1-inch cubes. Place them on a sheet pan and toss them with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the squash mixture between 2 sheet pans and spread in a single layer. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, tossing occasionally, until very tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock to a simmer. When the vegetables are done, put them through a food mill fitted with the medium blade. (Alternatively, you can place the roasted vegetables in batches in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add some of the chicken stock and coarsely puree.) When all of the vegetables are processed, place them in a large pot and add enough chicken stock to make a thick soup. Add the curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings to be sure there's enough salt and pepper to bring out the curry flavor. Reheat and serve hot with condiments either on the side or on top of each serving.

ROASTED AND CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
This is my original recipe and can be either vegetarian or meat based. It also freezes well - just thaw, heat and add cream or yoghurt before serving. It's delicious and well worth the extra steps of roasting and pureeing. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has soft spots or bruises.
- Roast the squash properly: Roasting the butternut squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast the squash until it is tender and 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 a combination of the two.
- Add aromatics: To add depth of flavor to the soup, add aromatics such as onions, garlic, and celery. You can also add herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
- Simmer the soup: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld together. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Season to taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little spice.
