Acorn Squash And Granny Smith Apple Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth

Preparation

Pierce acorn squash with a fork, and place on a paper towel in the microwave for 8-10 minutes. Pierce with tip of knife to see if it's tender. Carefully remove from microwave.
Allow to cool, then halve the acorn squash lengthwise.
Scoop out seeds and fibers.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium pot or Dutch oven. Saute onions and apples for 5 minutes, until softened. Sprinkle curry powder and stir well.
Scoop the flesh of the acorn squash from the skin and add to pot. Discard skin.
Pour in chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Using a hand blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Serves 4
