Indulge in a creamy butternut squash soup spiced with cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg - perfect for fall!
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 small apples - peeled, cored, and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 (12 ounce) box frozen butternut squash
  • 0.5 cup half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried tarragon
Instructions:
  • In a heavy skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Saute shallot in the fragrant oil until softened, then quickly add apples and continue cooking for about 1 minute until hot. Transfer the flavorful apple mixture to a stockpot.
  • In a large stockpot, combine chicken broth and water, then sprinkle in nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer until the apples are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Fold in the butternut squash, allowing it to harmonize with the flavorful liquid. As the mixture gently simmers, infuse it with half-and-half, butter, and fragrant tarragon. Continuously stir until the butter melts and the liquid is on the brink of boiling, approximately 5 minutes.
