Everything you love about fall in one sweet and savory soup.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow or white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped (3 c.)
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped (2 c.)
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. coriander
- 1/2 tsp. ginger
- 1/2 tsp. curry
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. cloves
- kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1 qt. vegetable stock (4 c.)
- 6 thyme sprigs
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- Sour cream (or Greek yogurt) for garnish
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, butternut squash, and apple and sauté for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until beginning to soften. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, ginger, curry, cumin, and cloves and sauté for another minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add in vegetable stock and thyme springs. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, partially-covered, for 20 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs.
- While soup is simmering, sauté bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 6 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- If you have an immersion blender, puree soup in pot until smooth. Otherwise, puree soup in a blender, working in batches, until smooth. (NOTE: When pureeing hot liquids in a blender, make sure to put a folded towel over lid and hold firmly down while blending.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve soup in bowls, garnished with a dollop of sour cream (or yogurt), crumbled bacon, and parsley.
