Delicious Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Mmm this recipe is sooo yummy. I got it from the lady I work for, Tracy. Hope you enjoy it! It goes really well with a dollop of sour cream stirred in.

Yields 4-6 servings

2 tbs butter
2 cups chopped yellow onion
4-5 tsp curry powder
3 lbs butternut squash (about 2 medium squash)
2 apples, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup apple juice
1 shredded unpeeled granny smith apple
salt/pepper

Melt butter in pot. Saute onion and curry powder until onions are tender ~ 25 minutes. Peel squash, scrape out seeds and chop. When onions are tender pour 1 cup chicken stock into pot, add squash and apples and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer partially covered until squash and apples are tender ~ 25 minutes. Strain liquid and set aside. Take the solid squash, apples, etc and run through blender until smooth. Add 1 cup of chicken stock to the mixture and blend again. Return pureed soup to pot, add apple juice and the rest of the chicken stock. Stir over heat until soup has the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
