Ingredients

    1 butter nut squash
    1 small apple peeled and diced
    2-3 tbsp of fresh ginger, grated
    3-4 c chicken stock
    1/2 onion, chopped
    1 clove of garlic, minced
    1 bay leaf
    2 tbsp olive oil, divided
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375*

Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds.

Drizzle the squash with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a pan lined with foil and roast for 30 mins. Flip the squash over and roast cut side up for another 15-30 minutes or until squash is tender and a knife inserted comes out easily.

In a large pot on medium heat sautee the onions, apples, garlic, and bay leaf until the onions and apples are soft. Stir in the 2-3 tbsp of grated ginger (depends on how much ginger flavor you want).

Pour in the 3 cups of chicken stock and scoop the squash out of the skin and add it to the pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and velvety. If it's too thick, add more broth.

Serve as an appetizer or as a main course with salad and fresh baked bread.

Serves 5-6 people. Nutrition includes 2 tbsp of olive oil, 4 cups of stock, 3 c of butternut squah, and is 6 servings.
