1large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch pieces (7 to 8 cups)
2onions, peeled, halved, quartered
2honey crisp apples, cored, diced into 1-inch pieces (don’t peel)
olive oil
kosher salt
ground black pepper
2cupschicken broth
1½teaspoonscurry powder
Toppings
roasted cashews, diced apple, toasted coconut, sliced green onions
Instructions
Heat oven 400F. Place butternut squash, onions and apples on large, rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with just enough olive oil to coat it all. Sprinkle with kosher salt (good two pinches) and ground black pepper. Give the whole pan a shake so things spread out into an even layer. Roast for 45 minutes, turning mixture every 10 to 15 minutes.
The squash will be tender and you will have some caramelized brown areas, but not a lot of that. Dump it all into a blender with 1 cup of chicken broth and the curry powder. Blend adding additional broth to arrive at desired consistency.
If you have a Vitamix (I am so madly in love with this machine) use the soup setting and your soup will be piping hot out of the blender. If using a standard blender gently re-heat the soup on the stove-top. Serve with your favorite toppings.
