Wok-Infused Butternut Squash and Apple Soup - Delight in the autumnal flavors of our Wok-Infused Butternut Squash and Apple Soup! Velvety butternut squash, sweet apples, and warm spices come together in a wok, creating a comforting bowl of seasonal goodness.

Ingredients:

  1. 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  2. 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  3. 1 onion, diced
  4. 4 cups vegetable broth
  5. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  7. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
  9. Toasted pumpkin seeds (for garnish)
  10. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  11. 1 clove garlic, minced
  12. 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  13. 1/2 cup coconut milk
  14. Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
  15. A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

    Instructions:

    • Heat olive oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. This adds a layer of depth to the soup's flavor profile.
    • Wok-roast butternut squash, apples, and onions, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize and turn golden brown. The caramelization process is key to enhancing the natural sweetness of the squash and apples.
    • Gently pour in the vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the wok. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
    • Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. The spices will infuse the broth with a warm, aromatic flavor.
    • Continue to simmer until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
    • Once the squash is tender, remove the wok from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a regular blender, working in batches if necessary.
    • Stir in the coconut milk, adding a luxurious creaminess to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Serve the soup hot, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh thyme leaves. The nutty crunch of the pumpkin seeds complements the smooth texture of the soup, while thyme adds a subtle earthy note.
    • Enjoy this heartwarming soup as a starter or a main course, perfect for chilly autumn evenings. Its rich, velvety texture and blend of sweet and savory flavors are sure to please your palate and warm your soul.
