Curried Butternut Squash Apple Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Curried Butternut Squash Apple Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take your butternut squash and slice it in half lengthwise.

3. Step 3

   Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet, allowing it to roast beautifully in the oven for about 40 minutes.

4. Step 4

   You’ll know it’s ready when the skin starts to loosen from the flesh, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a 5-quart stockpot and drizzle in some olive oil, heating it over medium-high heat.

6. Step 6

   Toss in your diced onions and minced garlic, stirring them around until the onions turn a lovely translucent shade—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

7. Step 7

   The scent of sautéing onions and garlic is simply irresistible! Now, pour in the vegetable stock, followed by the curry sauce and diced apples.

8. Step 8

   Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat to medium-low to let those flavors meld together beautifully.

10. Step 10

    When the roasted squash is cool enough to handle, carefully cut it into 1-inch cubes and add them to your stockpot.

11. Step 11

    Bring the mixture back to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 2 hours.

12. Step 12

    Remember to stir every 15 minutes to keep everything well combined and to ensure the squash becomes tender and easily breaks apart.

13. Step 13

    Once the cooking time is up, remove the pot from the heat.

14. Step 14

    Here comes the fun part! Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s silky smooth.

15. Step 15

    Stir in some luscious coconut cream and blend again until it’s perfectly creamy and inviting.

16. Step 16

    To serve your delicious bisque, ladle it into bowls and top it off with toasted pine nuts and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of flavor and texture.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy this warm, comforting dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
