Apple-Cheddar-Squash Soup
Recipe courtesy Food Network Magazine
4 servings
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)
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.
