Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
2 cups apple cider, approximately
Fine sea salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • With a vegetable peeler, peel the squash from top to bottom. With a large, heavy knife, cut it in half lengthwise. Discard the seeds. Cut the two halves in half lengthwise, and then cut across to make large cubes. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Swirl olive oil in the bottom of a large, heavy pot. Add onion and garlic, and cook slowly until soft, about 5 minutes. Add squash cubes, stock and 1 cup of cider. Cover, and cook over medium heat until the squash is very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Uncover, remove pot from heat and let rest 10 minutes. In a food processor, puree the mixture, in 2 batches if necessary. Return the mixture to the pot, and whisk in up to 1 cup of the remaining cider, thinning mixture to desired consistency. Season well with salt and pepper. Heat again until very hot, divide into 6 soup bowls and serve. (Soup can be made in advance and frozen, or refrigerated overnight and reheated before serving.)

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this soup changed my mind. The cider and spices really balance out the flavor of the squash.
