Recipe ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) butternut squash
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles organic sunflower oil* or butter*
  • 2 unpeeled McIntosh apples, cubed
  • ¾ cup (180 mL) leek, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) chopped ginger
  • 2 cups (500 mL) vegetable or chicken broth*
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) chopped chives
  • 7 Tbsp. (105 mL) whipping cream, whipped

Preparation

Peel squash, scoop out seeds and fibres. Cut into cubes.
In a big pot over medium heat, cook squash, apples, leek and ginger in sunflower oil but do not brown.
Add broth, bring to a boil and season lightly. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are thoroughly cooked.
Transfer broth and vegetables to a blender or food processor and purée.
Return to pot over low heat.
In a small bowl, gently stir chives into whipped cream.
Ladle soup into bowls and top with a dollop of chive whipped cream.

Suggestion

Shaped like a big pear, butternut squash has a smooth, easy-to-peel skin. This squash keeps 1 month if store in a cool, dry spot.
