Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
2 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
1/2 cup chopped peeled carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage leaves
5 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 cups apple cider
2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, leeks, carrot and celery; sauté until slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Mix in apples, thyme and sage. Add stock and 1 cup cider and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until apples are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, purée soup in blender. Return soup to pan. Boil remaining 1/2 cup cider in heavy small saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Cool. Place sour cream in small bowl. Whisk in reduced cider. (Soup and cider cream can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
  • Bring soup to simmer. Mix in whipping cream. Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with cider cream. Top with chives.

I would give this soup a 3 out of 5 stars. It was good, but not great. I might make it again, but I would probably try a different recipe.

This soup was a lot of work to make and it wasn't worth it. The flavor was just okay.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the apple cider.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed this soup. The apple cider and cream really balance out the flavor of the squash.

This butternut squash soup was a hit! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The soup was creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the apple cider. I will definitely be making this again.
