Per Karen's Request on FaceBook, here is the recipe. It sounds funny, but is totally delicious!!!

Apple and Butternut Squash Soup

3-4lbs butternut squash
6 apples, peeled and diced (Macintosh work best, or another that breaks down easily)
1 large onion, diced
2 Tbsp veg. oil
6 cups chicken broth
1-2 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 - 1 tsp allspice
1 tsp white pepper
1/3 to 1/2 c. maple syrup
1 tsp salt
3/4 c. heavy cream

Prick squash with a fork all over, then wrap in plastic
wrap and microwave about 5-6 minutes to get skin
tender enough to take skin off with a knife. Cut up
squash into small pieces, and take out the seeds and
nuke until very soft.

In a large pot, heat oil. Add onions and cook till
transparent. Add apples and cook until soft. Add
squash and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat
and simmer for 45 minutes. Add spices and adjust
seasonings with maple syrup and salt. Cool completely.
Puree in an emulsion blender or a large food processor, adding
the heavy cream to give a silky smooth consistency.


**I was told that tofu can be substituted for the cream. Never tried it, but they say that it gets just as creamy in soups, but has less fat and calories.
