  • Apple-Cheddar-Squash Soup recipe

    Ingredients

    * 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
    * 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    * 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
    * 1 large white potato, diced
    * 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled butternut squash, fresh or frozen
    * Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    * 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
    * 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    * 1/3 cup apple cider
    * 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    * 1 cup milk
    * 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces
    * 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
    * Chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
    * Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

    Directions

    Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-low heat and add the onion, apples, potato and squash. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sage and flour. Add the cider and cook over high heat, stirring, until thickened. Add the broth and milk, cover and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the potato is soft, 8 to 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

    Add the cheese to the soup and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Puree in a blender in batches until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the prosciutto, more cheese and chives, if using. Serve with bread, if desired.
