Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1/2 Butternut Squash - baked just long enough to soften it, cut into 1-2" pieces
    1/2 large Sweet Potato - peeled and sliced
    1 medium Apple - peeled, cored and chopped
    1/2 pint Half and Half
    16 oz All Natural or Organic Stock (chicken or vegetable)
    1/2 - 1 cup Red Onion - diced
    1 clove Garlic - minced
    1/4 cup Olive Oil - for sauteing
    Salt to taste

Directions

Saute onion and garlic in a pan with a few tbsps olive oil until tender and translucent.
Peel and cut sweet potato into slices - add to pan. Add a bit more olive oil and some of the stock.
Cut butternut squash into small (1-2") pieces and add to the pan. Add more stock and simmer until tender.
Add chopped apple to the mixture and add the rest of the stock and cream.
Simmer for about 15 minutes until everything is nice and soft. You can mash it with a potato masher right in the pan if you'd like it chunky, or blend in a food processor in batches. Add salt to taste. Delicious creamy tasting soup without much cream! Try with fat-free half and half for an even lighter version.
