Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the squash, cut side down, on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly and gently scrape or cut squash away from skin (delicata skin is edible, but not tasty in this dish). Set aside.
- Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add leeks and thyme and stir occasionally until soft and brown, 10-15 minutes. Stir in the stock and the squash and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Using an immersion hand blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. (Alternatively, puree the soup in batches in a standard blender or food processor).
- Season with salt and pepper & top with sour cream and caramelized apple croutons
- To make the croutons:.
- Peel and core apple and halve lengthwise. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut apple into very thin slices. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread one layer of apple slices on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake slices for 20 minutes at 350 degrees until crisp.
- Transfer to cooling racks and let cool completely.

[email protected]Overall, this soup was good, but not great. I think I would have preferred it if the flavors were a bit more pronounced. I might try adding some additional herbs or spices next time.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the apples were not caramelized. The croutons were a nice touch, though.
Zach Gray
[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much broth. Next time, I will be sure to measure the broth more carefully.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. The croutons were a nice touch, but I would have liked them to be a bit crunchier.
