Ingredients

    5 tbsp olive oil
    3 Cups Butternut Squash, peeled and cubed
    2 C leeks, white and light green parts only, chopped
    1/2 cup chopped carrot
    1.2 cup chopped celery
    1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
    1/2 tsp dried sage
    2 tsp ginger
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    5 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
    1 1/2 cup apple cider
    2/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

Heat olive oil in a soup pot. Add squash, carrots, leeks, and celery. Cook until vegetables are soft - about 15 minutes. Add diced apples and spices. Cook another five minutes. Add chicken stock and one cup of the apple cider and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Puree soup with an immersion (hand-held) blender, or by ladelling into a traditional blender (make sure soup is cool before using a traditional blender). In a separate pan, boil 1/2 cup of cider until syrupy. Mix into sour cream. Return pureed soup to pan and reheat to serve. Top with cider cream and garnish with fresh chives.
