Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), chopped

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 large potato, peeled and cubed

  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash

  • 1 cup diced carrots

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick

  • 1 quart chicken stock

  • ¼ cup dry white wine (Optional)

  • ½ cup light cream

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in leeks and onions; cook and stir until onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potato, squash, carrots, apple, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.

  2. Carefully purée soup in batches in a blender, or use a stick blender to purée soup in the pot. Once soup is puréed, return it to the pot and stir in wine and cream. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper; simmer gently for 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped chives.
