Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

I realize saying we harvested two butternut squashes from @carondeletgarden was a win, but Big Guy and I kept our expectations low after seeing the damage from the spring hailstorm. The plants were growing well with big, beautiful leaves that were smashed to the ground because of the storm. Instead of crying and pulling the plants, we opted to take a wait and see approach as nature has a way of beating the odds and rising from the ground.

I decided to make an @inagarten soup with the squash that included an apple component. The recipe had multiple stages, but it was worth the effort. You started by boiling the squash and apples in water until softened. While that was going, I took onions and curry and cooked them together until softened and then set it aside. I took the cooked squash and apples and pureed them into a lovely sauce using my @cuisnart. The finishing step was putting the sauce together with the cooked onions and adding two cups of apple cider. It was the perfect taste of Fall!
