Curried Squash & Apple Soup
What you need:
1 onion, chopped
oil for sauteing
3 tart apples, peeled & cored (or not) & chopped
2 cups or more squash, cooked
3-4 cups vegetable stock
1-2 teaspoons fresh, minced or grated ginger (or to taste)
1+ teaspoons garam masala (or to taste)
1+ teaspoons curry powder (or to taste)
Cinnamon, optional
What you do:
Saute the onion in oil until soft. Add apples, squash, and stock; simmer until tender (about 30 minutes). Add spices, letting your tastebuds be your primary guide: measurements are guesstimates, though ginger is more prevalant than any other. Let those spices simmer for some time, then puree. Garnish with a shake of cinnamon.
This is colorful, delightful, rich, soothing & satisfying. Heats up well & makes a darn good breakfast food, too.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
i liked it but it's good to use as a base recipe and add whatever you like to it. I added carrots, but i would have liked potatoes as well... i only pureed half of it and left some chunks in - i also threw in some crushed garlic during the onion part. tasty soup - was good paired with a sweet muffin snack afterward :D
delicious! I pureed the whole batch with soymilk to make it creamier. tahini would have been great if I had any! I also added a little sweetener. will be making this again...
julie! julie! julie! LOVE IT!! so perfect for these cold pennsylvania autumns! and it's simple. and cheap! bless you!! this will be a favorite!! ;D
I made this soup last weekend and loved it! I added 1/4 cup of tahini and it added a little thickness, delicious.
