Categories: Onion, Carrot, Butter, Cream, Apple, Chicken, Celery
-= Ingredients =-
4 pounds of winter squash, about 6 - 8 cups
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3 large Carrots, diced
4 Celery stalks, diced
2 large Onions, diced
1 Leek, split, washed, & diced
3 quarts of Chicken stock or water
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/4 cup of Maple syrup
1 cup of heavy cream
Apple Schnitz Croutons
2 Tart apples; such as Granny
1/2 cup of firmly-packed light brown sugar
-= Instructions =-
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cut the pumpkin or winter squash in half and remove all seeds. Place cut side up on a cookie sheet and bake 45 minutes, or until soft. Remove the pulp from the shell, puree in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, and reserve. Heat the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot until foamy. Add all of the vegetables (except the reserved pumpkin or squash) and saute 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then add the pumpkin puree and the spices. Cook 45 minutes, adding the maple syrup and heavy cream in the last 5 minutes of cooking. To make the Apple Schnitz Croutons: Peel and core the apples and slice into paper-thin rings using a food processor fitted with a vegetable slicing disk. Spread the slices on a non-stick cookie sheet or one lined with parchment paper. Dust with light brown sugar, and dry in a preheated 300ºF. oven approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until crisp. When the soup has finished cooking, cool several minutes before pureeing in small batches in a blender or food processor. Serve immediately, garnished with the Apple Schnitz Croutons. This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.
