8 cups 1-inch-cubed, peeled butternut squash
(about 2 medium)
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs maple syrup
1 tsp kosher salt
1¼ tsp garam masala
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
4 cups chopped, peeled Braeburn apple (about 1
pound)
¼ cup sweet white wine
3 cups water
14 ounce can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
(or vegetable broth)
2 Tbs 2% milk
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine squash, 2 T. oil, syrup, salt, garam masala, and pepper in large bowl. Arrange squash in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 45 minutes or until soft.
3. Heat remaining 1 T. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in apple; sauté 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in wine; cook 1 minute. Stir in squash, water, and broth. Bring to a simmer; cook 3 minutes. Place half of soup in a blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids (this step is optional... taste at this point- if you like the soup as is, don't strain). Repeat procedure with remaining half of soup. Stir in milk.
