Welcome fall with this delicious pureed soup.
INGREDIENTS
2 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 tsp mild curry powder
¾ tsp salt
1 ¼ lbs butternut squash, cubed (frozen or precut is fine)
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks
3 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
¾ cup apple cider, no-sugar added
1 ½ cups low-fat buttermilk
Garnish
sprigs of fresh thyme
pomegranate seeds
DIRECTIONS
1
Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add onion and curry, and sauté for 8-10 minutes or until tender.
When the onion is tender, add butternut squash, apples, chicken broth, the apple cider, salt, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the squash and apples are very tender. Remove from the heat and let stand for a few minutes.
Puree soup. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth OR pour soup in batches into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return pureed mixture back to the pot, add the buttermilk, simmer briefly to heat thoroughly, and serve!
