Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 cups 1/2-inch butternut squash cubes

  • 2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts only

  • ½ cup chopped carrots

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • 2 small Granny Smith apples, cored and diced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon dried sage

  • 5 cups chicken stock

  • 1 cup apple cider

  • salt to taste

  • 5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (Optional)

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute butternut squash, leeks, carrots, and celery in hot butter until vegetables are softened, 10 to 12 minutes.

  2. Stir apples, thyme, and sage into the squash mixture; pour in chicken stock and cider. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover pot with a lid, and cook until vegetables and apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove soup from heat and cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

  3. Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return mixture to pot and season with salt to taste. Garnish individual servings with crumbled bacon.

Cook's Note:

You can also use a food processor or immersion blender to puree the soup.
