Pokyny

Sauté the onion, carrot, and celery in butter: Heat a large thick-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and let it foam up and recede. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Lower the heat if the vegetables begin to brown.

Cook the soup: Add the butternut squash, apple, stock, and water. Bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or so, until the squash and carrots have softened.

Purée the soup: Use an immersion blender to purée the soup, or work in batches and purée the soup in a stand blender.

Add the seasonings: Add pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cayenne. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives and, if you want, a dollop of sour cream. Did you enjoy this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
