Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 8 teaspoons, divided
-
1 ½ cups sliced sweet onion
-
½ cup sliced shallot
-
4 cloves garlic, smashed
-
½ cup dry white wine
-
1 butternut squash (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 6 cups)
-
1 ½ cups chopped peeled Golden Delicious apple (about 1 medium apple)
-
½ cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
-
½ cup basmati rice
-
4 cups unsalted chicken broth or vegetable broth
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
-
Freshly ground pepper for garnish
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, shallot and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes.
-
Increase heat to medium-high; add wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add squash, apple, carrots and rice; stir to combine. Add broth and increase heat to high; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until the vegetables, apple and rice are tender, about 25 minutes.
-
Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender until velvety and smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.)
-
Transfer to a large heatproof bowl and stir in lemon juice and salt. Ladle evenly into 8 bowls; drizzle each serving with 1 teaspoon oil and garnish with pepper. (Alternatively, let cool completely, about 30 minutes, and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Garnish with oil and pepper just before serving.)
Tips
To make ahead: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
