Frozen, pureed winter squash eliminates the time and toil involved in peeling, chopping, and cooking fresh squash yet still lends this soup unmistakable flavor and brilliant color. Apple and ginger add a sweet and zesty note. |
Ingredients: |
2 tablespoons butter |
Method: |
1) In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and sage; cook 3 minutes to soften. Reserve 1/4 of one apple for garnish; peel, core, and finely chop remaining apple. Add to onion mixture with broth and water; heat to simmering. Cook mixture, covered, 12 minutes. 2) Add squash and ginger to apple mixture; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. 3) In two batches, puree soup mixture until smooth. Return to pan, stir in milk and reheat over low heat. (For a thinner soup, add a little more water or broth.) Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish each with thin slices of reserved apple. |
