Apple Squash Soup

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and sage; cook and stir 2-4 minutes or until tender. Add broth, apples and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 12 minutes.

Step 2

Add squash, ginger and salt; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Step 3

Process in batches in a blender until smooth; return to pan. Add milk; heat through, stirring occasionally (do not allow to boil).
