Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- One 20 ounce package fresh diced butternut squash or ½ whole squash, cut into ½ inch pieces (3 cups)
- 1 Gala apple, unpeeled, cut into 1 inch dice

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, under tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute.
- Add the curry powder, cinnamon and ginger and stir until fragrant.
- Stir in squash, apple pear and the broth, increase the heat to high, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and maintain at low boil, covered until squash is tender, about 30 mins.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, let cool for about 15 mins, transfer to a blender, and puree in batches until very smooth. Transfer back to put, reheat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with optional toppings.
