Directions: |
Directions:In a 4 quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the squash, apples, broth, water, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring often, until squash is very tender, 20 - 25 minutes. Spoon 1/3 of the squash mixture into blender; cover, with center part of cover removed to let steam escape, and puree until smooth. Pour puree into bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture. Return puree to saucepan. Stir in the milk; add the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg to the soup. Add additional thyme as desired. Heat through over medium heat (do not boil). |

Notes: The first time I made this soup, I used apples from Ross and Shirley Roylance's trees. The tart flavor was perfect! This soup is a satisfying, very healthful autumn meal.
